However, the problem is that WKWebView will ask for this permission repeatedly: Once the app moves to the background and comes to the foreground again, and the user wants to toggle the microphone on again, the user is presented with a new permission prompt. Expected behavior: WKWebView should remember the granted permission and not ask again. Interestingly, iOS Safari has an option where the user can grant a website permanent permission (roughly: "do not ask again for this site"). I couldn't find any relevant APIs to facilitate this and consider it a critical bug, as it has a hugely negative impact on user experience. If I've missed something, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Please reopen if this is not sufficient. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 223806 ***
