Simultaneous Microphone Access on Android and iOS

[Uzair Lakhani]

Dear Forum Members,

We were developing a Skype Recorder for Android and got struck in the issue of simultaneous access of microphone by our app and Skype as Android does not allow two apps to access the microphone.

After reading some articles it seems that iPhone allows simultaneous access of microphone by two apps as many apps are available that do recording for Skype.

I want to find out is our assumption is correct that Android does not allow while iPhone does allow simultaneous microphone access?

Please note that on desktop system we were able to record Skype test call as Windows desktop allows shared microphone access.

Thanking you very much.

Discussion on this macrumors sub-forum tends to be more about consumer topics.

You're probably better off asking android app development questions somewhere like XDA

http://forum.xda-developers.com

Or perhaps one of those listed here: http://developer.android.com/support.html

Dear Ozaz,

Thanks for your reply. I want to find about the possibility of simultaneous microphone access by two apps on iPhone. I am not much interested in Android right now.

Thanks,

Oh, OK. Then an iOS developer forum or sub-forum would be more useful to you than this one.
