"Cannot invoke a native callback outside of an isolate" Flutter FFI about sdk

[dcharkes]

we also check for NativeCallable.listener but issue is still persistent

Are you sure? This error message can only occur with NativeCallable.isolateLocal.

Could you provide a minimal reproduction on a GitHub repo?

Thank you for your response.

We call CPP dll in Flutter using Flutter ffi. This is our CPP function in dll.

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void StartServerSession (const char* Name,const char* js,int& sessionID,int& ERESULT,void(eventhandler)(const char,int))
export "C"__declspec(dllexport) void InitializeServer(void(eventhandler)(const char,int)){ PtrObj->Initialize(eventhandler); }

final DynamicLibrary DllPath = DynamicLibrary.open('path to dll');
typedef InitializeFunc = Void Function(Pointer<Void> eventhandler);
typedef InitializeFun = void Function(Pointer<Void> eventhandler);

typedef StartServerSessionC = Void Function(Pointer<Utf8> Name, Pointer<Utf8> js, Pointer<Pointer<Int32>> sessionID, Pointer<Pointer<Int32>> ERESULT,Pointer<Void> eventhandler);
typedef StartServerSession = void Function(Pointer<Utf8> Name, Pointer<Utf8> js, Pointer<Pointer<Int32>> sessionID, Pointer<Pointer<Int32>> ERESULT,Pointer<Void> eventhandler);

void eventHandler(Pointer<Utf8> response, int length) {
  print('Response: ${response.cast<Utf8>.toDartString()}');
}


final initialize = DllPath.lookupFunction<InitializeFunc , InitializeFun>('Initialize');

final startServerSession = DllPath
    .lookupFunction<StartServerSessionC, StartServerSession>('StartServerSession');
