AVSpeechSynthesisVoice broken in iOS 16 beta

Hello,

It seems like AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices() now returns [] instead of a list of voices, and which means that no speechVoices are available. This leads to the impossibility to do any speech synthesis using iOS 16.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Have you found a way to address it?

Thanks

For me the problem was only with the simulator. It seems the simulator for iOS 16, unlike previous versions, comes without any voices pre-installed. So the list is indeed empty. To fix that go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices and install one/some voices and see if the problem persists.
