Bug with SwiftKey and Obsidian Mobile when using Google voice-to-text

Previously, users reported such a problem:

Hi. Im wondering if anyone else is getting this problem or can help.
I use Swiftkey on my Android (Xiomi Redmi Note 10 pro) and until very recently had no problem accessing voice-to-text in Obsidian mobile. But it’s suddenly stopped working.
The voice-to-text panel will not open - it tries to open and immediately closes.
When I switch to Gboard, voice-to-text works fine.
All relevant permissions are on in Swiftkey, I didnt change anything to make this happen (afaik).
Swiftkey voice-to-text works fine in all other contexts.
Ive rebooted, and uninstalled/reinstalled Obsidian.

Then there was the report that the problem has been fixed.

And here it is again!

Problems with google voice input/typing in editing mode from swiftkey in the mobile app (obsidian). The area of the microphone screen (that usually appears on the screen after calling the voice-to-text service) simply does not appear. When I’m trying to switch to it through the menu, nothing happens — the microphone does not appear, voice recording and text processing does not occur.

At the same time, there are no problems in other applications.

The app and the phone were restarting. It didn’t help. I found that access to the microphone was blocked in the settings of the obsidian application. I unlocked it, overloaded, but the problem did not go away.

This issue occurs in obsidian mobile app when I use swiftkey (and calling the voice-to-text func from swiftkey keyboard).
Current version of the obsidian mobile application is: 1.6.7 (149)
Mobile phone model is: Honor 20 pro
Android system, version 10 or 11, I don’t remember exactly.

Explain what’s going on and help set up Google voice typing in the app, please.
