PathNotFoundException when using record package in Flutter on iOS Simulator

[Nikunj-Flutter]

I am encountering an issue while using the record package in my Flutter app for audio recording. After starting and stopping the recording, I am getting a PathNotFoundException when trying to access the file at the path returned by record.stop(). The error message is:

Unhandled Exception: PathNotFoundException: Cannot open file, path = 'file:///Users/nikunj/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/235B6666-3DAB-4CAF-B700-8134141DEA55/data/Containers/Data/Application/4BDB8CA2-82B3-4456-8D05-5E60D4CA8AFF/tmp/5F15A7DF-CD15-4843-A1AA-B6602393EA99.m4a' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Code:
`Future startRecording() async {
await record.start();
}

Future stopAudio() async {
final path = await record.stop();
if (path == null) {
print("Error: Recording path is null.");
return;
}

final tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
final filePath = '${tempDir.path}/audio-${DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch}.wav';
final file = File(filePath);

// Check if file exists before proceeding
if (!file.existsSync()) {
print("Error: File does not exist at $filePath");
return;
}

final bytes = await file.readAsBytes();
final base64Audio = base64Encode(bytes);

// Send the audio as needed
print("Audio ready to be sent.");
}
`

• I am using the record package to record audio in a Flutter app.
• After stopping the recording using record.stop(), I am trying to save the file in the temporary directory.
• However, when I try to access the file, I am getting the PathNotFoundException error, even though I can see the file path looks correct.
• The file is not found at the specified path in the error message, and the directory doesn't seem to exist.

I guess you are still in version 4. Output path is given from stop method.
Upgrade to v5 for reliable input/output matching.
