Hi everyone, I was working on some code that involves recording audio with AVAudioEngine and got an issue that just crashes the app: EXC_BREAKPOINT Exception 6, Code 1, Subcode 4304279688 +0x009888 AudioRecordModule.setupAudioEngine +0x009788 AudioRecordModule.setupAudioEngine +0x00c5bc AudioRecordModule.handleConfigurationChange Below is the relevant code in the Recorder class. public class AudioRecordModule: Module { private var audioEngine: AVAudioEngine? private func startRecording(options recordingOptions: RecordingOptions) { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playAndRecord, options: .mixWithOthers) try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) outputFormat = AVAudioFormat( commonFormat: recordingOptions.bitDepth == 32 ? .pcmFormatInt32 : .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: Double(recordingOptions.sampleRate), channels: AVAudioChannelCount(recordingOptions.channels), interleaved: true )! let fileUri = URL(string: recordingOptions.fileUri)! let formatSettings: [String: Any] = [ AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC, AVSampleRateKey: recordingOptions.sampleRate, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: recordingOptions.channels, AVEncoderBitRateStrategyKey: AVAudioBitRateStrategy_Constant, AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.high.rawValue, ] self.recordedFile = try AVAudioFile( forWriting: fileUri, settings: formatSettings, commonFormat: outputFormat.commonFormat, interleaved: outputFormat.isInterleaved ) if !hadSetupNotification { setupNotifications() } } func handleConfigurationChange() { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.releaseAudioEngine() self.setupAudioEngine() if self.state == "recording" { // we could attempt to keep recording do { try self.audioEngine?.start() } catch { self.internalPauseRecording() self.sendInterruptEvent() } } } } func setupNotifications() { nc.addObserver( forName: Notification.Name.AVAudioEngineConfigurationChange, object: nil, queue: nil ) { [weak self] _ in guard let weakself = self else { return } if weakself.state != "inactive" { weakself.handleConfigurationChange() } } } private func setupAudioEngine() { self.audioEngine = nil let audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() self.audioEngine = audioEngine let inputNode = audioEngine.inputNode let inputFormat = inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0) let converter = AVAudioConverter(from: inputFormat, to: outputFormat)! inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: inputFormat) { (buffer: AVAudioPCMBuffer!, time: AVAudioTime!) -> Void in do { let inputBlock: AVAudioConverterInputBlock = { _, outStatus in outStatus.pointee = AVAudioConverterInputStatus.haveData return buffer } let frameCapacity = AVAudioFrameCount(self.outputFormat.sampleRate) * buffer.frameLength / AVAudioFrameCount(buffer.format.sampleRate) let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer( pcmFormat: self.outputFormat, frameCapacity: frameCapacity )! var error: NSError? converter.convert(to: outputBuffer, error: &error, withInputFrom: inputBlock) if let error = error { throw error } else { try self.recordedFile?.write(from: outputBuffer) } } catch { print(error) } } } private func releaseAudioEngine() { if let audioEngine = self.audioEngine { audioEngine.inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0) audioEngine.stop() } audioEngine = nil } } Beside that, the record module works normally. It is just the configuration change that it does not handle well. I understand that when configuration changes, I need to reinit the audio engine to have the correct input format (since the new config/audio device can have different sample rate and such). If I don't do that, the app also crashes perhaps due to the mismatch. AVAudioRecorder is not an option for me. Thank you for your help.
