AVAudioSession setting not working properly for first recording

[NatashaTheRobot]

Just calling the recorder.prepare() function doesn't work on the first try to record, but works on the second attempt:

    func startRecording() async {
        do {
            try await recorder.prepare()
            try await recorder.record()
        } catch {
            print(error)
        }
    }

The following code does work:

    func startRecording() async {
        do {
           // this needs to be added
            let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
            try audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default)
            try audioSession.setActive(true)
            try await recorder.prepare()
            try await recorder.record()
        } catch {
            print(error)
        }
    }

So this needs to be set better in the AudioRecorder's record function

    @MainActor
    public func record() async throws {
        // this seems to be set too late
        try _AVAudioSession.shared.setCategory(.record, mode: .default)
        try _AVAudioSession.shared.setActive(true)
        
        guard try base.record() else {
            // this error gets thrown on the first attempt to record
            throw _PlaceholderError()
        }
        
        self.state = .recording
    }
