List available output audio target AVAudioSession

I need to list the audio outputs available to an iOS application. My question is similar to this one: How to list available audio output route on iOS

i tried this code:

NSError *setCategoryError = nil;
BOOL success = [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
                                                      error: &setCategoryError];

NSError *activationError = nil;
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: &activationError];

…
NSLog(@"session.currentRoute.outputs count %d", [[[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] currentRoute] outputs ] count]);
for (AVAudioSessionPortDescription *portDesc in [[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] currentRoute] outputs ]) {
    NSLog(@"-----");
    NSLog(@"portDesc UID %@", portDesc.UID);
    NSLog(@"portDesc portName %@", portDesc.portName);
    NSLog(@"portDesc portType %@", portDesc.portType);
    NSLog(@"portDesc channels %@", portDesc.channels);
}

However I always see just one output port (the count is 1), also if I have two (an Airplay and a Built-in speaker). If I use the Music application I am able to see both ports and switch between them. In my app I only see the one that I have selected.

There is something else that I need to do?

Thank you

EDIT:

i tried this code, too:

CFDictionaryRef asCFType = nil;
UInt32 dataSize = sizeof(asCFType);
AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRouteDescription, &dataSize, &asCFType);
NSDictionary *audioRoutesDesc = (__bridge NSDictionary *)asCFType;
NSLog(@"audioRoutesDesc %@", audioRoutesDesc);

but the dictionary list just one output destinations. Moreover the input sources array is empty (I have a iPhone 4s)

EDIT2:

I got something working using MPVolumeView . This component has a button that lets you choose the output audio route, like in the Music App.

If you want you can hide the slider (and have only the button) using:

self.myMPVolumeView.showsVolumeSlider = NO;

Try something like this, its more than you need but you can pare it down:

    + (NSString *) demonstrateInputSelection
{
    NSError* theError = nil;
    BOOL result = YES;
    NSMutableString *info = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
    [info appendString: @"     Device Audio Input Hardware\n"];

    NSString *str = nil;
    if( iOSMajorVersion < 7 ){
        str = @"No input device information available";
        NSLog(@"%@",str);
        [info appendFormat:@"%@\n",str];

        return info;
    }

    AVAudioSession* myAudioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];

    result = [myAudioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:&theError];
    if (!result)
    {
        NSLog(@"setCategory failed");
    }

    result = [myAudioSession setActive:YES error:&theError];
    if (!result)
    {
        NSLog(@"setActive failed");
    }

    // Get the set of available inputs. If there are no audio accessories attached, there will be
    // only one available input -- the built in microphone.
    NSArray* inputs = [myAudioSession availableInputs];
    str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n--- Ports available on %@: %d ---", [UIDevice currentDevice].name , [inputs count]];
    NSLog(@"%@",str);
    [info appendFormat:@"%@\n",str];

    // Locate the Port corresponding to the built-in microphone.
    AVAudioSessionPortDescription* builtInMicPort = nil;
    AVAudioSessionDataSourceDescription* frontDataSource = nil;

    for (AVAudioSessionPortDescription* port in inputs)
    {
        // Print out a description of the data sources for the built-in microphone

        NSLog(@"%@",str);

It will depend on your AVAudioSession category.

You can safely assume on an iPhone that you have at least a microphone as input and a speaker as output. If you're trying to get a list of Bluetooth/AirPlay outputs, first you'd have to make sure your session category is reporting them to you:

do 
{
    try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord, withOptions: .AllowBluetooth)
    try audioSession.setActive(true)
} 
catch let e
{
    debugPrint("failed to initialize audio session: \(e)")
}

Then a non-intuitive way to get available outputs is to check AVAudioSession.availableInputs as usually a bluetooth HFP device would have a mic too.. I might be assuming a lot right now.. but that's the only way to consistently get your availableOutputs.

A better way is to use MultipleRoute category which will give you more freedom at accessing AVAudioSessionPort

AVAudioSessionRouteDescription *currentRoute = [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] currentRoute];
    for (AVAudioSessionPortDescription *output in currentRoute.outputs) {

    }
