React-native-track-player: Locked Screen buttons not working

[vbspace]

Hi There,

  I successfully enabled the background mode for IOS its working, and also I added some capabilities options. But when I try to use the locked screen buttons, they do not work. Can someone help me pls ?

React : v16.3.1
React-Native : SDK 30
"react-native-track-player": "0.2.5"

TrackPlayer.setupPlayer(); TrackPlayer.updateOptions({ stopWithApp: true, capabilities: [ TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PLAY, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PAUSE, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_NEXT, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS, ] });

Duplicate of #77
Just put up a PR fix here: #295

Thank you for replying. I don't think that's the fix for the problem I am having. The buttons appear but when I press, they don't do anything.

Oh interesting yeah I haven't seen that before.

Just to make sure you've registered the event handlers for play/pause/next/previous right? Events found here

Mine looks something like this and I set these before calling TrackPlayer. setupPlayer

TrackPlayer.registerEventHandler(async (data) =>   
    switchcase({
      'remote-play': () => {
        TrackPlayer.play()
      },
      'remote-pause': () => {
        TrackPlayer.pause()
      },
      'remote-next': () => {
        TrackPlayer.skipToNext()
      },
      'remote-previous': () => {
        TrackPlayer.skipToPrevious()
      }
    })(null)(data.type)
)
await TrackPlayer.setupPlayer();
TrackPlayer.updateOptions({
    stopWithApp: true,
    capabilities: [
      TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PLAY,
      TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PAUSE,
      TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_NEXT,
      TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS,
    ]
});

The only button working is the volume bar, the three other buttons are not working.

When the music changes, the play button goes from play to pause, and then from pause to play. But when I try to press it, it does not pause the music, the UI changes but the music doesn't stop, the same happens with next and back buttons, when I press then the music does not change

its now working

TrackPlayer.registerEventHandler(async (data) => { switch (data.type){ case 'remote-play': { TrackPlayer.pause() }; case 'remote-pause': { TrackPlayer.play() }; case 'remote-next': { TrackPlayer.skipToNext() }; case 'remote-previous': { TrackPlayer.skipToPrevious() }; } }) await TrackPlayer.setupPlayer(); TrackPlayer.updateOptions({ stopWithApp: true, capabilities: [ TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PLAY, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_PAUSE, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_NEXT, TrackPlayer.CAPABILITY_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS, ] });

your switch case is wrong spelled. And also you have to test the field type. Thank you!
