API Research Failures - AI Assumes APIs Exist Without Verification #8

Filed on behalf of Amr Elsayed.

Problem

AI makes incorrect assumptions about API availability, suggesting non-existent functions and deprecated methods without verification.

From Amr

"The suggested code which is related to checking and acquiring microphone permissions uses a hook usePermissions which doesn't exist in expo-audio... The actual function is called requestRecordingPermissionsAsync"

Proposed Solution

• Mandate API verification before use
• Implement actual code inspection vs documentation
• Add Context7 or similar verification tools
