Derived from Flutter Audio Recorder 1/2/3.
Initial reasons for new repo:

Other repos not updating with the times
Fix the following Android warning:
The plugin flutter_audio_recorder3 uses a deprecated version of the Android embedding.
To avoid unexpected runtime failures, or future build failures, try to see if this plugin supports the Android V2 embedding. Otherwise, consider removing it since a future release of Flutter will remove these deprecated APIs.
If you are plugin author, take a look at the docs for migrating the plugin to the V2 embedding: https://flutter.dev/go/android-plugin-migration.
Fix Android Gradle plugin error on Mac Sonoma:
The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
project ':flutter_audio_recorder3' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.50

Works for both Android and iOS

Usage #
Recommended API Usage: hasPermission => init > start -> (pause <-> resume) * n -> stop, call init again before start another recording
Always check permission first(it will request permission if permission has not been set to true/false yet, otherwise it will return the result of recording permission)
bool hasPermission = await FlutterAudioRecorder4.hasPermissions;

Initialize (run this before start, so we could check if file with given name already exists)
var recorder = FlutterAudioRecorder4("file_path.mp4"); // .wav .aac .m4a
await recorder.initialized;
copied to clipboard
or
var recorder = FlutterAudioRecorder4("file_path", audioFormat: AudioFormat.AAC); // or AudioFormat.WAV
await recorder.initialized;
copied to clipboard
Sample Rate
var recorder = FlutterAudioRecorder4("file_path", audioFormat: AudioFormat.AAC, sampleRate: 22000); // sampleRate is 16000 by default

Start recording
await recorder.start();
var recording = await recorder.current(channel: 0);

Get recording details
var current = await recording.current(channel: 0);
// print(current.status);
copied to clipboard
You could use a timer to access details every 50ms(simply cancel the timer when recording is done)
new Timer.periodic(tick, (Timer t) async {
var current = await recording.current(channel: 0);
// print(current.status);
setState(() {
});
});
