Terminating app due to uncaught App crashes while using Speech kit ios

Question

I got this error while implementing speech to text:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'com.apple.coreaudio.avfaudio', reason: 'required condition is false: _recordingTap == nil'

and:

ERROR: [0x1b2df5c40] >avae> AVAudioNode.mm:565: CreateRecordingTap: required condition is false: _recordingTap == nil

Here is the code of my viewController:

public class ViewController: UIViewController, SFSpeechRecognizerDelegate {
// MARK: Properties

private let speechRecognizer = SFSpeechRecognizer(locale: Locale(identifier: "en-US"))!

private var recognitionRequest: SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest?

private var recognitionTask: SFSpeechRecognitionTask?

private let audioEngine = AVAudioEngine()

@IBOutlet var textView : UITextView!

@IBOutlet var recordButton : UIButton!

// MARK: UIViewController

public override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Disable the record buttons until authorization has been granted.
    recordButton.isEnabled = false
}

override public func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    speechRecognizer.delegate = self

    SFSpeechRecognizer.requestAuthorization { authStatus in
        /*
            The callback may not be called on the main thread. Add an
            operation to the main queue to update the record button's state.
        */
        OperationQueue.main.addOperation {
            switch authStatus {
                case .authorized:
                    self.recordButton.isEnabled = true

                case .denied:

            }
        }
    }
}

private func startRecording() throws {

    recognitionRequest.shouldReportPartialResults = true

    // A recognition task represents a speech recognition session.
    // We keep a reference to the task so that it can be cancelled.
    recognitionTask = speechRecognizer.recognitionTask(with: recognitionRequest) { result, error in
        var isFinal = false

        if let result = result {
            self.textView.text = result.bestTranscription.formattedString
            isFinal = result.isFinal
        }

        if error != nil || isFinal {

    let recordingFormat = inputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0)

        self.recognitionRequest?.append(buffer)

    audioEngine.prepare()

        recordButton.isEnabled = false
        recordButton.setTitle("Stopping", for: .disabled)
    } else {
        try! startRecording()
        recordButton.setTitle("Stop recording", for: [])
    }
}
}

Answer 1

You can try to use it on stop recording

Swift 3:

audioEngine.inputNode?.removeTap(onBus: 0)

It's helped me and should help you too.
