title: Openears asking for permission to use microphone
body: <p>I have made an app that uses <code>Openears</code> framework to readout some text. But I haven't used any of <code>Openears'</code> speech recognition/speech synthesis features, just the talk to speech feature. My app got rejected by apple telling that the app asks for permission to use microphone while the app doesn't have any features of that kind. The following is the rejection message from apple:</p>
  
  <pre><code>During review we were prompted to provide consent to use the microphone, however, we were not able to find any features or functionality that use the microphone for audio recording.
  
  The microphone consent request is generated by the use of either AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord or AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord audio categories. 
  
  If you do not intend to record audio with your application, it would be appropriate to choose the AVAudioSession session category that fits your application's needs or modify your app to include audio-recording features.
  
  For more information, please refer to the Security section of the iOS SDK Release Notes for iOS 7 GM Seed.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have searched the app for <code>AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord</code> or <code>AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord</code> audio categories as mentioned in the message but couldn't find any. How can I disable the prompting for permission to use microphone?</p>
