fix: App asks for microphone permission even though it's not using it about flutter_soloud HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah. I wonder if it's just something on the SoLoud C++ side "touching" an API, or even just declaring that it will be using some API, and macOS (Xcode?) detecting that. I need to experiment more.

from flutter_soloud.

This is weird!
There are no calls from within SoLoud to SoLoudCapture that could trigger the use of a microphone.
Also, AFAIK, the permission should be explicitly written in the Info.plist and asked in the app code.
I also looked at macos/flutter_soloud.podspec and there are no references to the microphone.

We could try to remove all the deprecated capture references in soloud.dart but I highly doubt that this is the problem.

Since the capture feature is all made using only miniaudio, and the permission dialog should be popped with pkg:permission_handler, I really think this could be an OS "problem" that thinks that some audio IO is requested.
Don't know much about mc OS, but I found something that I hope may help here

Thanks for looking into it! I think the salient parts are:

[when] Core Audio opens full duplex devices for both input and output

(I do have an external sound card that does both input and output in one box. I think this is quite rare, fortunately.)

And:

the dialog can be avoided by setting com.apple.security.device.audio-input to false in entitlements file. I'll try that.

I'll look into this — setting audio-input to false explicitly.
