Connection failed when accessing OpenAI API in Flutter desktop app on macOS

[milkyway044]

Getting the following error:

[OpenAI] accessing endpoint: /completions
[OpenAI] starting request to https://api.openai.com/v1/completions
[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: Connection failed

This issue is specific to the Flutter desktop macOS platform. We have tested the same API endpoint on Flutter web and it works without any issues.

maybe u should check network permission open or not on macOS
check here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61196860/how-to-enable-flutter-internet-permission-for-macos-desktop-app

@ZingerLittleBee thank you!

@milkyway044 can you check if the issue related to @ZingerLittleBee comment!

@ZingerLittleBee, @anasfik fortunately, I was able to resolve the issue by adding the following key-value pair to the macos/Runner/DebugProfile.entitlements and Release.entitlements:

<key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
<true/>

Thank you for creating such a useful package!
