Repeated request for microphone permission on iPhone Simulator
I'm working with Xcode 10.1 (10B61) on an app that needs permission to use the microphone.
(Almost) Every time I start the app from Xcode (in simulator) I get a system popup:
"Appname" would like to access the microphone
"Privacy - Microphone Usage Description"">
It doesn't matter if I select "Don't Allow" or "OK". This message keeps popping up.
How can I fix it?

More specifically, the Simulator doesn't remember that you once granted access to these resources (not just the Microphone, but Photos, network, etc.) This is tedious.

What is more concerning is if AdMob listening to the Microphone on the real device. Are they selling the captured audio to advertisement companies?

After looking for a workaround this one seems to fix it for me:
In Simulator go to Settings > Your App > Disable the Microphone Access
Update:
Not solving this issue but might be helpful:
You can dismiss the popup via Esc key - that should be way faster than clicking a button

Edit:
Unfortunately it looks like the following procedure is just a temporary fix. After some time the dialog started appearing again. Repeating the procedure fixes it for an additional period of time.
I had the same problem and what helped in my case was disabling and then re-enabling microphone permissions in the the Simulator.
Steps to fix:
- go to Settings app in the Simulator
- find your app settings page within the Settings app
- disable microphone permission (or any other permission that is causing trouble)
- re-enable microphone permissions
After this procedure, the microphone permissions dialog stopped appearing every time I would run the app.
Note that I did run the app with the permissions disabled and navigated to the point where permissions are required before re-enabling them (but I don't think that's required).
Hope this helps, it did in my case.
