**Unity Editor version** : 2022.2.9f1  
**ML2 OS version** : 1.2.0-dev2  
**MLSDK version** : 1.2.0-dev2  
**Host OS** : (Windows/MacOS): Windows

I have enabled the voice input on the ML2. Also the Permission settings in Unity Project settings  
The voice-intents example works if I build the app. But I want to test the voice intents via the App simulator without having to build every time. These are the errors I receive from trying to run the Voice Intents example in the app sim.

Hi @pokemon9757 and welcome to the Magic Leap 2 Forum. Unfortunately Voice Intents is not supported in the App Simulator. The MLResult\_NotImplemented error means the feature isn't supported in App Sim.

Hi @kdowney, oh... Thank you. So turns out any audio recording feature and voice intents wouldn't work with the App Sim. It would be of great help if the documentation specifically states so...
