Issue

I did the installation procedure but the app does not open. Close and alert spodcast keeps stopping.

Code

./android/settings.gradle :

 rootProject.name = 'spodcast'
apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
include ':react-native-track-player'
project(':react-native-track-player').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-track-player/android')
include ':app

./android/app/build.gradle :

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-rc01'
    implementation 'androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.1.0-alpha02'
    compile project(':react-native-track-player')

    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }
}

saga :

//playerSaga.js
import {call, put} from 'redux-saga'
import TrackPlayer from 'react-native-track-player'

import PlayerActions from '~/store/ducks/player'

export function* init() {
  yield call(TrackPlayer.setupPlayer)

  TrackPlayer.addEventListener('playback-track-changed', () => {})
  TrackPlayer.addEventListener('playback-state', () => {})
}

export function* setPodcast({podcast}) {
  yield call(TrackPlayer.add(podcast.tracks))
  yield put(PlayerActions.setPodcastSuccess(podcast))

  yield TrackPlayer.play()
}


//rootSaga.js : 
import {all, takeLatest} from 'redux-saga/effects'

import {PodcastsTypes} from '~/store/ducks/podcasts'
import {PlayerTypes} from '~/store/ducks/player'

import getPodcasts from './podcastsSaga'
import {init, setPodcast} from './playerSaga'

function* rootSaga() {
  return yield all([
    init(),
    takeLatest(PodcastsTypes.REQUEST_PODCASTS, getPodcasts),
    takeLatest(PlayerTypes.SET_PODCAST, setPodcast)
  ])
}

export default rootSaga

I have the same issue, android crashing. Does not even start.

[hussainarthuna]

Did you guys solve it? I have to release it in 2 days as on emulator it working more than perfectly. And now I have created a release build. And It is not working now. My client is calling again and again.

Does anyone have any crash error logs to share?

[hussainarthuna]

@curiousdustin Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module ERROR is showing.

[hussainarthuna]

I tried to remove everything related to RN Track Player and just added this import in the index.js and found that just adding this import crash my app on startup.

import TrackPlayer from 'react-native-track-player';

I'm using
"react-native": "0.62.2"
"react-native-track-player": "^1.2.3"

[curiousdustin]

Do you happen to be using any other audio/video related modules?
