IOS physical device records unreadable file

[dancb10]

Record version: ^6.1.2
IOS: 17.6.1

I simply try to record for both Android and IOS

Future<void> _startRecording() async {
    try {
      if (await _audioRecorder.hasPermission() &&
          _recordState != RecordState.record) {
        const encoder = AudioEncoder.aacLc;

        if (!await _isEncoderSupported(encoder)) {
          return;
        }

        final devs = await _audioRecorder.listInputDevices();
        debugPrint(devs.toString());

        const config = RecordConfig(
          encoder: AudioEncoder.aacLc,
          sampleRate: 44100,
          bitRate: 128000,
        );

        var dir = await Helpers.getRecordingDirectoryPath(
          widget.dmid,
          widget.gid,
          widget.cid,
        );

        await _audioRecorder.start(config, path: dir);
      }
    } catch (e) {
      if (kDebugMode) {
        print(e);
      }
    }
  }

Then i try to load the recording

var hash = await calculateFileMD5(_recordingPath);
                    String _dirPath = _recordingPath.substring(
                        0, _recordingPath.lastIndexOf('/'));
                    String _newRecordingPath = "$_dirPath/${hash}.m4a";
                    File(_recordingPath).renameSync(_newRecordingPath);
                    print("file renamed successfully to: $_newRecordingPath");

                    _chatInputMessageProvider
                        .setRecordingMessageLongPress(false);
                    _chatInputMessageProvider.setRecordingMessage(false);
                    print("stop long press");

                    AudioPlayer _audioPlayer = AudioPlayer();
                    await _audioPlayer.setSourceUrl(_newRecordingPath,
                        mimeType: "audio/m4a");
                    var _finalRecordDuration = await _audioPlayer.getDuration();
                    print("record duration: $_finalRecordDuration");

Everything works on Android but on IOS it fails to load that file.

flutter: \^[[31mAudioPlayers Exception: AudioPlayerException(
	UrlSource(url: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/AE40BB76-4B44-4233-AC81-081790D10611/Documents/personal/directMessages/594250296222324999/20f0eb0ea82d4e2bee97f2d2914b0eb2.m4a, mimeType: audio/m4a), 
	PlatformException(DarwinAudioError, Failed to set source. For troubleshooting, see https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/blob/main/troubleshooting.md, AVPlayerItem.Status.failed on setSourceUrl: Unknown error, null)\^[[0m

I tried changing the extension, the encoder, the bitrate, sample rate same problem. I tried switching to just audio same issues. The record from IOS is somehow messed up

It could be anything at this stage.

Does the example work?
I see that you use audioplayers package, setSourceUrl is dedicated to remote links...

Tried with audioplayers, with jsut_audios, there isn't a recording that you can record on ios and play on android or vice versa using the same file, yes, in that case setSourceUrl is the file recorded on ios and uploaded in a bucket.
