iOS build fails with record 6.2.0 due to record_linux 1.2.1 compatibility issue

[iCodePoet]

Description

iOS build fails when using record: ^6.2.0 due to a method signature mismatch in record_linux 1.2.1.

Error

../../../.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/record_linux-1.2.1/lib/record_linux.dart:45:16: Error: The method 'RecordLinux.hasPermission' has fewer named arguments than those of overridden method 'RecordMethodChannelPlatformInterface.hasPermission'.
  Future<bool> hasPermission(String recorderId) {
               ^

Why does Linux code affect iOS builds?

Flutter compiles all platform Dart code together during the build process, regardless of the target platform. This means:

• When building for iOS, Flutter still compiles record_linux Dart code
• The Dart analyzer checks method signatures across all platform implementations
• Even though Linux code won't run on iOS, it must still compile without errors

This is why a bug in record_linux breaks iOS builds, even though the Linux platform code is never executed on iOS devices.

Root Cause

• record_linux 1.3.0 was released 3 days ago with an updated hasPermission() method signature (added request parameter)
• record 6.2.0 still depends on record_linux 1.2.1
• The old version has a method signature that doesn't match the platform interface

Workaround

Add this to pubspec.yaml:

dependency_overrides:
  record_linux: 1.3.0  # Fix iOS build error

Solution

Please update the record_linux dependency in record/pubspec.yaml from ^1.2.1 to ^1.3.0 and release a new version.

Environment

• Flutter: 3.32.0
• record: 6.2.0
• record_linux: 1.2.1 (breaks) / 1.3.0 (works)
• Platform: iOS build (but affects all platforms due to Dart compilation)

Hi @iCodePoet,

It’s been updated. You can try removing these lines:

dependency_overrides:
  record_linux: 1.3.0

It should work fine now without them.

Best regards,
