I also noted that AudioRecorder.hasPermissions returns false, even tho I gave the microphone permission.

Any thoughts please?

Make sure you given WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission also and start recording by passing the path in parameter.

Ex:

          Directory appDocDirectory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
          String path = appDocDirectory.path + '/' + 'testfile.aac';
          await AudioRecorder.start(path: path);
