Web speech api (webkitSpeechRecognition) return 'not-allowed' error on android phone.

(I gave Microphone permission to chrome app and site on android settings)

Chrome on desktop is working. But, on android is not.

(Test phone is Samsung Galaxy S9, Android Version 10, Chrome Version 86)

I tested MicrosoftEdge, SamsungInternet as well as Chrome on android. but all returns 'not-allowed' error.

Test Page https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html

test code on chrome remote device console.

const a = new webkitSpeechRecognition()
a.onerror = (err) => {console.log("err:", err)}
a.start()
=> VM187:1 err: SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent {isTrusted: true, error: "not-allowed", message: "", type: "error", target: SpeechRecognition, …}

Is it a android problem? How can I make it working?

I'm aware that it is a very old question.

In my case problem was caused by an invalid SSL certificate. Desktop Chrome (Linux) was fine with that but Android Chrome was throwing "not-allowed" error. Fixing SSL certificate solved the problem.
