I've been reading this guide https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/playback-capture#capture_policy and it says I need to "include android:allowAudioPlaybackCapture="true in the app's manifest.xml file" but how exactly do I accomplish that? I tried adding the flag on the application header but the compiler just gave me an error.
Edit: Turns out I just needed to set my build tools version >= 28 and my compileSdkVersion to >= 29
I believe you need to place it in the <application tag.
Reference from this article: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/capturing-audio-in-android-q.html
I hope it helps!
Edit:
If this doesn't work, try the second option referenced in your article https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager#setAllowedCapturePolicy(int)
It turns out I just needed to update my buildTools version to 28+ and compileSdk to 29+ on the build.gradle file.
