Timeout while Client creation

[Oni22]

Hey,

First of all we are using:
vapi: 0.0.9
Flutter: 3.22.2

We are trying to add vapi to our flutter app but we get a timeout error while the client is created (see image). The app crashed right after. It happens also on real devices.

We are using the example from the repository:

Future<void> test() async {
    setState(() {
      buttonText = 'Loading...';
      isLoading = true;
    });
    try {
      if (!isCallStarted) {
        await vapi.start(assistantId: VAPI_ASSISTANT_ID);
      } else {
        await vapi.stop();
      }
    } catch (err) {
      print(err);
    }
  }
}

Thanks!

Could you try increasing the timeout manually? Seemed to work in another issue #6

[Oni22]

tried that already didnt worked :/

@nikhilro so it seems like that one of your dependecies daily_flutter is causing that issue. Not 100% sure but maybe you can also check it again?

daily_flutter is essential because we use daily for webrtc transport. this sdk should actually be a thin wrapper on daily_flutter. i'm pretty swamped with infra right now. if someone wants to take a stab at making the sdk work, happy to merge their PR.

for reference, this is how web sdk works with dailyjs: https://github.com/VapiAI/web/blob/main/vapi.ts (again, should be pretty thin wrapper)

wish i could take a stab.. i'm more of a hacker than an engineer. hope we can see progress here soon. good luck. blocked from development

#10 might solve the creation timeout. Lmk if any issues remaining.

Oh sh**! I got it. Increased timeout to 5000ms but it connected pretty much instantly. LETS GO

Ah, but then I ran into this:

The 'daily_flutter_audio_manager_events' channel sent a message from native to Flutter on a non-platform thread. Platform channel messages must be sent on the platform thread. Failure to do so may result in data loss or crashes, and must be fixed in the plugin or application code creating that channel.
