The Ti.Media.hasAudioPermissions() method is only available in Titanium SDK 6.0.0 and later (see [the docs](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Media-method-hasAudioPermissions)). 6.0.0 will be released in mid November, thx!

Hi, I have just tested this on a iphone 5s ios 9 and an iphone 6 ios 10 and it does not work. The app crashes and shuts down.
Chee Kiat Ng 2016-12-15

[~sulaimaanrawoot] did you do this (Please set the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key in the plist section of your tiapp.xml first and read [this post](http://www.appcelerator.com/blog/2016/09/ga-release-for-titanium-sdk-5-5-0-appcelerator-cli-5-5-0-appcelerator-studio-4-7-1/) about privacy settings introduced by iOS 10).

Hi, yes I did. This is my plist section. UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~iphone UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight UIRequiresPersistentWiFi UIPrerenderedIcon UIStatusBarHidden UIStatusBarStyle UIStatusBarStyleDefault NSMicrophoneUsageDescription Can we use your microphone? And this is the code: var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor : 'white' }); var button = Ti.UI.createButton({ title : 'Test audio permissions', top : 100, }); button.addEventListener('click', function() { if (Ti.Media.hasAudioPermissions()) { alert('-> THIS APP HAS AUDIO PERMISSIONS'); } else { Ti.API.warn('-> THIS APP HAS NO AUDIO PERMISSIONS, TRYING TO REQUEST ...'); Ti.Media.requestAudioPermissions(function(e) { if (!e.success) { Ti.API.error('Requesting audio permissions failed!'); return; } alert('Audio permissions granted!'); }); }; }); win.add(button); win.open(); I can't see where I am going wrong. No error is logged the app just crashes. I am using sdk 6, testing on an iphone 5s running IOS 9 and I am using the latest xcode, 8.2 i think.

[~sulaimaanrawoot] What SDK are you using?, I have just tested on 6.0.1.v20161214184817 with Xcode 8.2 and the test case worked fine.
Josh Longton 2016-12-19

Verified fixed, using: {noformat} macOS Sierra 10.12.1 iPhone 6 (10.2) iPhone 5 (9.3.5) iOS simulator (10.2) Ti SDK 6.0.1.v20161217061750 Appc NPM 4.2.8 Appc CLI 6.1.0 Xcode 8.2 {noformat} Ti.Media.hasAudioPermissions() no longer crashes the app. *Closing ticket*
