Recorded audio to GDrive / Error when decoding base64 strings

MIT App Inventor Help

Looking at your blocks, you have

  • for the mimetype value you only have mp3 instead of data: audio/3gpp (or data: audio/mp3 if you want to name your 3gp to mp3)

see my blocks below

I have just run a test aia project on the method without any issues. I can, make and save a sound recording to the ASD, convert a sound recording to base64, upload it to google drive as a file, download the file, and play it back. This is on an Android 12 device, using companion 2.62, and the latest version of KIO4_base64 extension.

I split the process up into sections, with button actions and labels in order to observe progress.

I suggest you do something similar to debug your app, in order to identify where things are going wrong.

Note: the binary file (e.g. sound recording) will be converted to base64 at some point in any upload process used, it is just with this method you actual see it happening!
