🪲 Description

Compilation error when building iOS project.

🪲 What is the observed behavior?

The build fails with the following error:

❌  (/node_modules/react-native-sound/ios/RNSound.mm:180:73)

  178 | #pragma mark - Audio Control Methods

🪲 What is the expected behavior?

The library should compile successfully on iOS.

🪲 Please post your code:

  Sound.setCategory('Alarm', true);

  const alarm = new Sound(
    'critical_notification.mp3',
    Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE,
    error => {
      if (error) {
        console.log('Failed to load the sound', error);
        return;
      }

      alarm.play(success => {
        if (success) {
          console.log('Successfully finished playing');
        } else {
          console.log('Playback failed due to audio decoding errors');
        }
      });
    }
  );

No, I ended up adding it to my react-native.config.js then use only for Android.

// react-native.config.js

module.exports = {
  dependencies: {
    'react-native-sound': {
      platforms: {
        ios: null,
      },
    },
  },
};
