Based on the information provided from the WWDC sessions, it appears that multiple apps cannot have simultaneous access to the iPhone microphone. The context from the sessions primarily discusses how individual apps can capture microphone audio using specific APIs, such as the SC stream configuration in ScreenCaptureKit. However, there is no mention of multiple apps being able to access the microphone at the same time.

For more details on how to capture microphone audio in your app, you can refer to the session Capture HDR content with ScreenCaptureKit.
