AVAssetWriter finishWriting fails on iOS 6 Simulator

Question

It seems that finishWriting is broken on iOS 6 simulator - it hangs forever. It's now deprecated and replaced by the new finishWritingWithCompletionHandler: - which also never calls the handler.

On real devices running iOS 6, this works just fine as it always did. Also in previous iOS simulators it works just fine. Seems like a bug in iOS 6 simulator.

Anyone else experiencing this or can prove me wrong?

Answer 1

I had this issue as well, then realized that I wasn't calling endSessionAtSourceTime: after starting one. This resolved my issue.
