Description

I'm using https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-media-capture/ and on iOS v. 9.2+ it won't allow me to upload recordings greater than 2 seconds. The same code works for Android and can capture audio for more than 2 seconds. I'm using a file reader to get the base64 string of the whole recording and uploading it to a server.

var audioFile = audioFiles[0],
fileReader = new FileReader(),
file;
fileReader.onload = function (readerEvt)

{ var base64 = readerEvt.target.result; saveRecording(base64); }

;
file = new window.File(audioFile.name, audioFile.localURL,
audioFile.type, audioFile.lastModifiedDate, audioFile.size);
fileReader.readAsDataURL(file);
