error_permission on a device where it used to work

[yariefw]

Hello,

So I have this app where I use this plugin (version 7.0.0) and I can confirm that it works fine at least 2 months ago on my test device (Samsung A33, OneUI 7 / Android 15). But today I tested the same .listen function and found that it's not working.

Now the following log is from the example app that I git clone'd from main:

I/flutter (27405): 2025-10-28T14:26:41.293516 start listening
D/SpeechToTextPlugin(27405): Start listening
D/SpeechToTextPlugin(27405): setupRecognizerIntent

I/flutter (27405): 2025-10-28T14:26:41.615371 Received listener status: done, listening: false
I/flutter (27405): 2025-10-28T14:26:41.615923 Received error status: SpeechRecognitionError msg: error_permission, permanent: true, listening: false

This is the same error I encountered in my app. And just to be clear, microphone permission is granted in all cases.

Now my question is, how can I debug this further? I suspect Samsung changed something, but I don't know where to begin looking.

I also updated my device to OneUI 8 / Android 16 and it doesn't work there either. Only other device I tried is a Redmi Note 9 Pro and it works fine there and can recognize words. I use Flutter 3.24.3 if that matters.

Any guidance would be appreciated!
