Describe the bug

I have got another crash different from #375 also from my live Android users :

Additional context

[Tom3652]

I have new phones to add, i thought it was device specific but no unfortunately :

• Realme C53 : Android 14
• Itel RS4 : Android 13

It causes so far 20+ crashes, much less than #375 which has more than 100 crashes in my app so far

Hello @Tom3652, Could you please specify the types of files users are allowed to pick or the format in which audio is being recorded for android users? I believe this information will help in further investigating the crash.

[Tom3652]

Hello @manoj-simform , yes sure here is the code for the recorder and it's saved as an .mp4 file :

recorderController = RecorderController()
        ..androidEncoder = AndroidEncoder.aac
        ..androidOutputFormat = AndroidOutputFormat.mpeg4
        ..iosEncoder = IosEncoder.kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC
        ..sampleRate = 44100
        ..bitRate = 48000;
        
String outputPath = "${dir!.path}/${DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch}.mp4";
recorderController?.reset();
await recorderController?.record(path: outputPath);

After that, we upload that .mp4 to our serveur.

When they read the file, it's from the server URL so we download it first locally as .mp4 file and read it.
The file read on Android may come from an iOS recording if that helps.

hi @manoj-simform, do you have any lead on this crash ?
i keep having multiple occurrences on my live app also on flutter: 3.27.3
