Description

AVAudioRecorder has a .pause() method but no property to check for a “paused” state. There should be a .isPaused property or even better a .state property that is a enum { case stopped, recording, paused }.

It is possible to hack this together by creating a wrapper class that wraps the record/stop/pause methods and keeps track of the state from that. But that’s both annoying to write and easy to get wrong. It’s expected that a class like AVAudioRecorder exposes all of its states.
