Description

In testing apps for the latest iOS 5 beta, I've found that audio recording in M4A / AAC is silently failing. A small file is always created of the same size all the time [57344 bytes] , but with no audio. Recording in this format has always been possible before iOS 5. To test, try changing the recording format and compression values in the KS [sound_record.js](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/demos/KitchenSink/Resources/examples/sound_record.js) demo to :

recording.compression = Ti.Media.AUDIO_FORMAT_AAC;
recording.format = Ti.Media.AUDIO_FILEFORMAT_MP4A;

This has been tested on an iPhone 4 and iPad2 running iOS 5.0 (9A5274d) Any ideas? This is critical fo alot of my apps to work.

fyi: This seems to have worked fine in iOS5 Beta 3, but broken in iOS5 Beta 4

Hi Kosso I'm very sorry, we are grateful for your effort in raising this ticket, but unfortunately we only accept tickets for released software. To put it another way, the [Titanium Compatibility Matrix](http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Titanium+Compatibility+Matrix#TitaniumCompatibilityMatrix-iOSSDK%2FTargetiOSPlatform) contains all the software that is officially supported, so if it isn't listed there, then we cannot accept a ticket for it. This is because it often happens that issues like these are resolved between beta releases without our intervention. I hope you can appreciate these reasons. Cheers

Hi, You'll be pleased (but possibly unconcerned) that the iOS5 Beta 5 has fixed the issue. Cheers
