I'm a web developer of WebRTC based web app for video and audio calls. After updating to iOS 26.1 beta I noticed, that my app can't use microphone anymore.

When I'm calling to getUserMedia with audio set to true, Safari returns error "No AVAudioSessionCaptureDevice device".

Other WebRTC demo apps also can't access microphone on this firmware.

And maybe it's connected somehow, but safari can't detect connected AirPods Pro 2 as an input device.

So, this bug brakes any WebRTC app, that uses microphones.

I have the same issue. The connection failed most of the time. Sometimes it can connect, but still has other issues. Have you resolved it?

Unfortunately, I haven’t resolved the issue. Error “No AVAudioSessionCaptureDevice device” has nothing to do with the JavaScript. I think it should be fixed on Safari side.

Same issue, I’ve tried many different websites that use the microphone and they all have the same issue now. I have a small test webpage that I’m using now, I’m going to try it in Xcode simulator on previous iOS versions to confirm… but it’s a pretty consistent/reproducible; hopefully the dev team gets a fix in.

Looks like Beta 2 update fixed this error and WebRTC microphone works properly.
