Termux API not working on the "Build Your Own Private Voice Assistant" tutorial

Hi guys,

I’m currently following this tutorial to build a private voice agent on your phone: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/private-voice-assistant-using-open-source-tools/#heading-requirements .

But when I test the record from the device microphone with this line:

termux-microphone-record -f in.wav -l 4 && termux-microphone-record -q

I get this response: “Termux:API is not yet available on Google Play”.

There doesn’t seems to be any updates on this page: Termux:API is not yet available on Google Play · Issue #29 · termux-play-store/termux-apps · GitHub

So i’m wondering why it’d be suggested in the tutorial if the problem hasn’t been solved.

And do you know if i can troubleshoot this somehow?

Thanks!
