React-native-sound: playing sound files with require won't work on react 16 and react native 0.50

[Flewd]

Saw this in one of my projects and was able to reproduce it in the demo project in this repo:
https://github.com/zmxv/react-native-sound-demo

Playing sounds with require will return an error: OSStatus error 2003334207.

in the demo project set these dependencies in the package.json

    "react": "^16.0.0",
    "react-native": "^0.50",
    "react-native-sound": "^0.10.4"

Build the project and try to play mp3 , aac, or wav via require().

Anyone know a solution that allows for require to continue to be used with react 16 and react native 0.50?

this issue only appeared on physical devices, audio worked fine in simulator. I was able to solve this issue by changing line 194 of RNSound.m from:

fileNameUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[fileName stringByRemovingPercentEncoding]];
to this
fileNameUrl = [NSURL URLWithString: fileName];

When stepping through the code on different versions of react and react native I noticed that the FileName that gets passed into RNSound.m is already in the syntax of a path and doesn't need to be altered at all. So using [NSURL URLWithString : fileName]; solved the issue for me.

"react": "^15.4.2",
 react-native": "^0.41.2",
