Kerri Shotts commented on CB-571: --------------------------------- Here's my question, based on a recent app that I've been working on: Why /must/ the file exist? The Apple documentation indicates pretty clearly that the file will be created if it doesn't already exist. Requiring the existence of the file really throws a monkey-wrench into creating clean, cross-platform code that records audio, so I would be in favor of removing the "file exists" restriction entirely. > Check that audio file recording to using Media.startRecord is of type .wav > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-571 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-571 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: iOS > Affects Versions: 1.6.1 > Environment: iOS > Reporter: Ram Kulkarni > Assignee: Shazron Abdullah > Priority: Minor > Labels: ios, media > > As we document in {{startRecord}} on our [docs > page|http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.6.1/cordova_media_media.md.html#media.startRecord], > when recording audio in iOS, you need to make sure the file exists and that > it is of type .wav. > It would be nice if the {{startRecordingAudio}} method in CDVSound.m checked > that the requested file to record to is of the right type, and throw an error > if it is not. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
