Answer 1

Use an NSTimer. Instantiate an NSTimer when the recording starts. At the end of 60 seconds, the timer will fire and call a method, that stops recording.

Here is the sample code :

    func startRecording(){

    let theTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(60, target: self, selector: Selector("stopRecording"), userInfo: nil, repeats: false)
    // Start recording here.

    theTimer.fire()
}

func stopRecording(){
    // Put the code to Stop recording here.
}

There is now a property for the maximum allowed recording length. For your code:

controller.maximumRecordDuration = 60

Answer 3

I think you left out the recording portion of your code, which may be in the IQAudioRecorderController.

But assuming that you have a recorder created similar to the below:

audioRecorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: audioFilename, settings: settings)
audioRecorder.delegate = self
audioRecorder.record()

You can change the last line to the following to record for one minute:

audioRecorder.record(forDuration: 60.0)
