[jira] [Commented] (CB-11603) captureAudio on iOS 9.2+ can't record more than 2 seconds

Kerri Shotts commented on CB-11603:
-----------------------------------

You're conflating an upload problem vs a recording problem. I'm assuming you can indeed record audio for longer than 2 seconds, just that the upload of that recording fails. If this is not the case, please let us know.

Assuming the problem is with uploading:

All you post is how you are reading the file contents into a variable. You don't share how you're sending that information to your server. Without that, it's going to be hard to help. Furthermore, base64 is increasing the recording size by 33%, which, for a long recording, could be straining device resources.

My suggestion would be to use the File Transfer plugin instead, because I'm guessing you're running into a memory limit somewhere. The FT plugin uses native code to perform the transfer, and shouldn't incur the hit of transferring large files over the native bridge.

> I'm using https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-media-capture/ and on iOS v. 9.2+ it won't allow me to upload recordings greater than 2 seconds. The same code works for Android and can capture audio for more than 2 seconds. I'm using a file reader to get the base64 string of the whole recording and uploading it to a server.
>  var audioFile = audioFiles[0],
>                 fileReader = new FileReader(),
>                 file;
>             fileReader.onload = function (readerEvt) {
>                 var base64 = readerEvt.target.result;
>                 saveRecording(base64);
>             };
>             file = new window.File(audioFile.name, audioFile.localURL, 
>                                    audioFile.type, audioFile.lastModifiedDate, audioFile.size);
>             fileReader.readAsDataURL(file);
