I have the same problem on IOS!

    const audio = new Sound(url, '', error => {
      console.warn(`Failed to load the sound ${url}`, error);
    });

I tried downloading the file first using fs and passing the full local path to the downloaded file but the same error! I have no issues on Android, it works perfectly.

@chenweigh, @minhchienwikipedia : I faced the similar problem and managed to solve it. You need to add the sound file into Resources using XCode

It's 2019 and we can't play audio from a remote url? 😄 Did anyone solve this? Any pointers? I don't mind making a PR.

I was fetching mp3 files from the URLs.
I think when you fetch the URL as data and provide it to AVAudioPlayer, sometimes there is an issue in the AVAudioPlayer to recognise the file format, OS considers it as unsupported file format.

I resolved the issue by adding fileTypeHint:AVFileTypeMPEGLayer3 to line 192 something like this in RNSound.m -

 if ([fileName hasPrefix:@"http"]) {
    fileNameUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:fileName];
    NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:fileNameUrl];
    player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data fileTypeHint:AVFileTypeMPEGLayer3 error:&error];
  }
