WhisperAudioconvert return Permission denied in Android

[zackattack73]

When using WhisperAudioconvert.convert() to convert the file to a wav file i got this error :

Unhandled Exception: ProcessException: Permission denied

My audio file is in the assets folder.
What I have try so far :

• Add and ask for the storage permission
• Use getTemporaryDirectory() / getApplicationDocumentsDirectory() for the audio output path
• Create a copy of the audio file from asset in tempDirectory / ApplicationDirectory
• Create a new directory in ApplicationDirectory and use this in the path

So far none of this work and I still have the error. Any idea of what I could do ?

Full Code & error (Here I made a copy of the file from asset to a new directory called debugwhisper in the ApplicationDirectory) :

      Directory appDocumentsDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
      String appDocumentsPath = appDocumentsDirectory.path;
      Directory dir = await Directory('$appDocumentsPath/debugwhisper').create(recursive: true);
      var status = await Permission.storage.request();
      final bytes = await rootBundle.load('assets/audio.mp3');
      final buffer = bytes.buffer;
      final newPathAudio = '${dir.path}/audio.mp3';
      await File(newPathAudio).writeAsBytes(
          buffer.asUint8List(bytes.offsetInBytes, bytes.lengthInBytes));
      print(status);
      Transcribe transcribe = await whisper!.transcribe(
        audio: WhisperAudioconvert.convert(
          audioInput: File(newPathAudio),
          audioOutput: File("${dir.path}/convertedAudio.wav"),
        ).path,
        model: pathModel,
        language: lang, // language
      );

Hi, can you please guide me its setup instructions, is there any extra step to place somewhere libwhisper.so file? i am getting error - Invalid argument(s): Failed to load dynamic library 'libwhisper.so': dlopen failed: library "libwhisper.so" not found

Whisper w = Whisper();
Version v = await w.getVersion();
print(v?.rawData);

You are likely stumbling in Android SAF storage management system which is a hassle to get working. Yiu can instead use SimpleStorage which is very easy to use. This should allow your app to get the permissions it needs to.access files anywhere in the system (the user needs to be asked to grant permission for any change of location.
