Build Error: Microphone class is used but Microphone Usage Description is empty

Question

Hi there I'm trying to build my game for mac, it builds fine for windows but for mac I get these 2 errors:

 Microphone class is used but Microphone Usage Description is empty. App will not work on macOS 10.14+.
 Exception: A required capability description is not set.

I'm definitely not trying to access the microphone in my game. Does anyone know how to fix t$$anonymous$$s? Please help

You need to add a microphone usage description string in iOS Player Settings (w$$anonymous$$ch will be added to your Info.plist).

that fixed it. (searched for info.plist in my windows file manager). Now, if only I can figure out why my game thinks the microphone is being used in the first place!

Thanks a lot. I had problems because I wasn't building for iOS, so I didn't have the iOS setting. I had then to download the iOS building package and I managed... Weird though, since I was simply building for MacOS, no iOS.

I know old thread - but just went through t$$anonymous$$s with 2021.3.4f1 build...

Terrible answer to just fill in the Microphone description when you're not accessing the microphone.

In my case the build errors to Mac were caused by having the Oculus Lipsync Package installed.

We swapped to another Lipsync package, removed Oculus Lipsync package and requirement for Microphone description and build error went away.
