Microphone permissions are requested when a livestream viewer joins the call

[spencerprescott]

What did you do?

Clean app install. Join a live stream as a guest.

What did you expect to happen?

Join the call and start watching without being prompted for microphone permissions.

What happened instead?

System prompted for microphone permissions after joining the call and before I am able to view the video feed.

GetStream Environment

GetStream Video version:
1.34.0
GetStream Video frameworks: StreamVideo, StreamVideoSwiftUI
iOS version:
26.0
Swift version:
6
Xcode version:
26.0.1
Device:
iPhone 11

Additional context

This only occurs on getstream sdk versions 1.33.0 and above. Previous versions (1.32.0 for example) I tested on do not prompt a viewer for microphone permissions. I am using the livestream call type. Also this only happens on a real device, the simulator never prompts.

This issue is not fixed in the 1.34.1 release which appears to have been an audio routing fix.
