[Python] I cant seem to get my Android App to work with Vosk in MacOS12.7

I have been through the wringer trying to get Voice Recognition for an Android App i'm developing on my MacOS 12.7, using Python3.10, Kivy2.3, speechrecognition requirement, and Vosk 3.44, ive been using Buildozer quite well with other versions and apps.. i've tried using it with flac, ffmpeg, all others i could come to, but Vosk seems to be the closest way so far. i have narrowed the biggest issue down to Andorids SELinux security. without compiling an independent flac or anything for myself (which is a bit more). I would like to use Vosk. Here is a summary of my information:

buildozer 1.5
Kivy 2.3
Python 3.10
Vosk 3.44
MacOS 12.7

i can load and use/run the app perfectly, other than having the Speech Recognition available.. it is the only thing left that i want to add to the App. I am using it to Search "speech recognition", for words or phrase, and then print it to the screen in my app If it finds them. pretty straught forward, just got caught up in the VR..

the python logcat displays this when i run the app (erroring on the speech recognition):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the buildozer has the model directory, and it is built into the Python App to import it (correctly, within the called directory, and file *.so, among a couple of others)

requirements = python3,python-for-android,kivy,pydub,speechrecognition,plyer,pyjnius,jnius,sdl2,sdl2_image,cython


(i've also tried VARIES/many ways, including the actual versions in the requirements list - without success)..

the other "warning" i receive is on my App when i load it, it simply says, Vosk library import failed.. that is coded into my main.py file.
