The only documented method for checking mic permission on iOS 7 that I could find is requestRecordPermission
documented on AVAudioSession
. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVAudioSession_ClassReference/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/AVAudioSession/requestRecordPermission:
However, the very act of checking permission using this method will display an alert asking user for permission if user hasn't already made a decision, which can be very undesirable. Is there a work around to check mic permission without showing a prompt?
