I'm facing a similar issue. I'm recording the camera view. Everything works fine on the emulator, but I'm getting errors on a real device.

Problems with platform views are a known issue: https://github.com/Baseflow/screenrecorder?tab=readme-ov-file#%EF%B8%8F-known-issues-and-limitations It's nothing this library can fix, since it's a limitation of Flutter itself.

[BrianTran24]

@ueman I agree with your point, however, I still maintain that the package is buggy when running on a real device. I've verified this by downloading the example provided by the package. It still exhibits the same error, whereas the emulator works fine.
I'm tesed on Iphon 12 Pro.

After several hours, I discovered that the issue lies in the image format of the iPhone. Images captured from the iPhone return in a 64-bit color image format. Meanwhile, the image package that the library depends on only supports 32-bit color. I have fixed this in a this pull request #47 .

when will it be released?

[BrianTran24]

@Jaew00Shin my PR invalid lint rule of repo. However, I'm quiet busy to debug and fix. So U can ref to my repo to apply.

Same bug here. This package is unusable on iOS (didn't test other platforms). The example code fails on exportGif with this error:

RangeError (RangeError (length): Invalid value: Not in inclusive range 0..255: 10280)
