Hi y'all, After getting mono recording working, I want to differentiate my app from the standard voice memos to allow for stereo recording. I followed this tutorial (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfaudio/capturing_stereo_audio_from_built-in_microphones) to get my voice recorder to record stereo audio. However, when I look at the waveform in Audacity, both channels are the same. If I look at the file info after sharing it, it says the file is in stereo. I don't exactly know what's going on here. What I suspect is happening is that the recorder is only using one microphone. Here is the relevant part of my recorder: // MARK: - Initialization override init() { super.init() do { try configureAudioSession() try enableBuiltInMicrophone() try setupAudioRecorder() } catch { // If any errors occur during initialization, // terminate the app with a fatalError. fatalError("Error: \(error)") } } // MARK: - Audio Session and Recorder Configuration private func enableBuiltInMicrophone() throws { let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() let availableInputs = audioSession.availableInputs guard let builtInMicInput = availableInputs?.first(where: { $0.portType == .builtInMic }) else { throw Errors.NoBuiltInMic } do { try audioSession.setPreferredInput(builtInMicInput) } catch { throw Errors.UnableToSetBuiltInMicrophone } } private func configureAudioSession() throws { let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() do { try audioSession.setCategory(.record, mode: .default, options: [.allowBluetooth]) try audioSession.setActive(true) } catch { throw Errors.FailedToInitSessionError } } private func setupAudioRecorder() throws { let date = Date() let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd, HH:mm:ss" let timestamp = dateFormatter.string(from: date) self.recording = Recording(name: timestamp) guard let fileURL = recording?.returnURL() else { fatalError("Failed to create file URL") } self.currentURL = fileURL print("Recording URL: \(fileURL)") do { let audioSettings: [String: Any] = [ AVFormatIDKey: Int(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC), AVLinearPCMIsNonInterleaved: false, AVSampleRateKey: 44_100.0, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: isStereoSupported ? 2 : 1, AVLinearPCMBitDepthKey: 16, AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.max.rawValue ] audioRecorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: fileURL, settings: audioSettings) } catch { throw Errors.UnableToCreateAudioRecorder } audioRecorder.delegate = self audioRecorder.prepareToRecord() } //MARK: update orientation public func updateOrientation(withDataSourceOrientation orientation: AVAudioSession.Orientation = .front, interfaceOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientation) async throws { let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() guard let preferredInput = session.preferredInput, let dataSources = preferredInput.dataSources, let newDataSource = dataSources.first(where: { $0.orientation == orientation }), let supportedPolarPatterns = newDataSource.supportedPolarPatterns else { return } isStereoSupported = supportedPolarPatterns.contains(.stereo) if isStereoSupported { try newDataSource.setPreferredPolarPattern(.stereo) } try preferredInput.setPreferredDataSource(newDataSource) try session.setPreferredInputOrientation(interfaceOrientation.inputOrientation) } Here is the relevant part of my SwiftUI view: RecordView() .onAppear {             Task {                 if await AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission() {                     // The user grants access. Present recording interface.                     print("Permission granted")                 } else {                     // The user denies access. Present a message that indicates                     // that they can change their permission settings in the                     // Privacy & Security section of the Settings app.                     model.showAlert.toggle()                 }                 try await recorder.updateOrientation(interfaceOrientation: deviceOrientation)             }         }         .onReceive(NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: UIDevice.orientationDidChangeNotification)) { _ in                     if let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene,                        let orientation = windowScene.windows.first?.windowScene?.interfaceOrientation {                         deviceOrientation = orientation                         Task {                             do {                                 try await recorder.updateOrientation(interfaceOrientation: deviceOrientation)                             } catch {                                 throw Errors.UnableToUpdateOrientation                             }                         }                     }                 } Here is the full repo: https://github.com/aabagdi/MemoMan/tree/MemoManStereo Thanks for any leads!

Hi guys, First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I'm in the last steps of my task manager app: getting the tasks to sync between devices. However, I get the error "This NSPersistentStoreCoordinator has no persistent stores (unknown). It cannot perform a save operation." What does this error exactly mean? My container is initialised so it should have a persistent store, right? I've also enabled all the proper capabilities I'm pretty sure (eg, I've enabled CloudKit, created a container, enabled background fetch and remote notifications.) Here is the code for my data controller: import CoreData import Foundation class DataController: ObservableObject { let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "TaskDataModel") init() { guard let description = container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first else { fatalError("Container descriptions not loaded") } description.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in if let error = error { print("Core Data failed to load: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } } Here is TaskManMain: @main struct TaskManApp: App { @StateObject private var dataController = DataController() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .environment(\.managedObjectContext, dataController.container.viewContext) } } } Here is the full repo if y'all are interested: https://github.com/aabagdi/TaskMan Thanks for any help!
