Q:

I am not able to record audio by longpress button with circularProgressBar with timer. button is disabled while launch of application

---Hello I'm new to objective C. I am not able to record audio while pressing buttonTapped method below listed- buttontapped is disabled while application is launched , thus i cannot record and hence I cannot play the recorded sound. kindly guide with this. 
--Here is my files.
-- I have imported two files of CircularProgressBarTimer from github and imported those file in the .h file.
----This is my .h file
@interface ViewController : UIViewController<AVAudioRecorderDelegate,AVAudioPlayerDelegate,UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>{
    NSTimer *timer;
    NSInteger globalTimer;
    NSInteger counter;
    NSInteger minutesLeft;
    NSInteger secondsLeft;
    UIRefreshControl *refreshControl;
    CircularProgressTimer *progressTimerView;
}
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *buttonRecord;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longpressGesture;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet CircularProgressTimer *circularProgressView;

- (IBAction)buttonTapped:(id)sender;
-(void)longPressed:(UIGestureRecognizer *)longPress;

And this is my .m file
@interface ViewController (){
    AVAudioRecorder *recorder;
    AVAudioPlayer *player;

}

@end

--In my viewDidLoad method i have initialise audio player, longesturerecognizer

    [self.buttonRecord addGestureRecognizer:gesture1];

A:

The last line in your viewDidLoad is causing your record button to be dissabled, why have yo added this     [buttonRecord setEnabled:NO];
You may try changing it to     [buttonRecord setEnabled:YES]; or removing that line completely
