Access Apple Watch's microphone

Question

Now that more and more documentation on the Apple Watch is surfacing has anybody found a way to access and use the device\'s microphone?

Answer 1

Yes, it is introduced in Watch OS 2.

But as Apple mentioned, this part of the API is in preview, and it did changed a lot. As for Watch OS 2 beta 5, the according interface(in Swift) changed to:

@available(watchOS 2.0, *)

public func presentAudioRecorderControllerWithOutputURL(URL: NSURL, preset: WKAudioRecorderPreset, options: [NSObject : AnyObject]?, completion: (Bool, NSError?) -> Void)

So please always refer to the SDK document you are using, if you want to try this new feature.

By the way, this sample project would be a good start:

Still, some of the API used in sample is already changed, like this recording one.
