AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord with Airplay

Question

My app uses the microphone and outputs audio, so I am setting my Audio Session to the Play and Record Category, but this seems to disable Airplay. If I set the category to Play, Airplay works fine with my output (but obviously the input doesn't work).

I've tried overriding the output route to speaker, in case it needed that to output over Airplay, but no joy.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

What AirPlay device are you trying to use? Does it have a microphone?

If not, iOS won't present it as an option when using the PlayAndRecord category, because that device can't play and record. It would show up when using the Play category though.

Also, if the device you are using is a Bluetooth device, have you set AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetooth to YES?
