Question

IOS7 shows an alert window saying my app "wants to access the microphone" when playing a video

As the title says, now I get a prompt in IOS 7 when playing a video in the iPad. Why is AIR asking for microphone access? How can I prevent it? I'm not actually using the microphone at all in my app.

Thank you!

The previous AIR build fixed the microphone issue, and the current build should still have that fixed:

Thanks for the tip, @hdoidoi! I've reset the privacy settings and then run again my app compiled with AIR 3.9.0.880 and the microphone prompt doesn't appear. So it seems the first time I tested I was still using AIR 3.8, sorry for the confusion.

So this has been fixed in the 3.9 release. Thanks!

Which AIR SDK version you are using? Could you please give a try with latest AIR SDK version available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html if not using already.

I'm using the latest beta (AIR 3.9.0.880). Unfortunately I can't reproduce this again because after selecting anything in that alert box (allow or not allow the microphone), iOS saves the setting and the alert box doesn't appear anymore, even after uninstalling and installing my app again!

I've tried going to Settings / Privacy / Microphone and I can see my app listed, but I can only set microphone access on or off, but not remove the entry completely, so I get asked again.

Any ideas?

You need to change the id in the application.xml for this.
