Hello @tanojsaipraveen

the URL you provided is http not https, and in order to use "not secure" URLs you need to add the usesCleartextTraffic="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml, like this:

<application
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" <== add this line
        android:label="flutter_file_downloader_example">
...
</application>

please let me know if you face any other issues, I tested it out, with and without the flag above; without it: returned same error you got with it, file is downloaded and I can play it from downloaded files

Please feel free to reopen this issue if you have any other related issues

It's a warning I guess not an error, the project still builds successfully right? I tried to figure out what the deprecated actually but couldn't find a clear parts of the code 😕 There is already an issue about this warning #8

[tanojsaipraveen]

Yes It was warning
