I think maybe the confusion comes from you asking aboout what can record on Qt, and my reply. But I don't actually use my reply. I was only mention CameraRecorder because you asked about it.

I think you left something around. It’s not linking Qt Multimedia and not using it that makes the iOS app ask microphone permissions. I did it in the past and I tested the app. It will never ask microphone permission if you don’t use any Qt Multimedia classes even if you link against it.

Look inside the Info.plist of your app. Maybe in the past you explicitly configured in the required capabilities the microphone and you forget to removed it.
