Issue

Typing in the console

yarn add react-native-track-player , cd ios, pod install

I got the response:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "react-native-track-player":
In Podfile:
react-native-track-player (from ../node_modules/react-native-track-player)
Specs satisfying the react-native-track-player (from../node_modules/react-native-track-player) dependency were found, but they required a higher minimum deployment target.

Changing platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '10.0' in the Podfile and typing pod install :

Installing react-native-track-player (1.2.2)
[!] Unable to determine Swift version for the following pods:

• react-native-track-player does not specify a Swift version and none of the targets (Kaltduschen) integrating it have the SWIFT_VERSION attribute set. Please contact the author or set the SWIFT_VERSION attribute in at least one of the targets that integrate this pod.

Adding a swift file as described in the Installation section and typing pod install agin, I got:

Deleting the swift-file and bridging-file, adding "install! 'cocoapods', :deterministic_uuids => false" to the Podfile and typing pod install gives a result without errors.

But now the build fails with "Command CompileSwiftSources failed with a nonzero exit code"

Code

Only the default generated App.js for react-native apps.

I am stranded! Any ideas whats wrong?

[ajanmot]

Hello, pmatulla. I currently have the same problem.
Can you get me on that thread if you can figure it out ?

[ali-pedram]

same here, what gives ?

[neoassyrian]

I'm having the same issue here too

[neoassyrian]

These are the steps I followed
npm install --save react-native-track-player
npm install --save react-native-swift
react-native link

(I also noticed that this doesn't actually work and I even tried running "react-native link react-native-track-player & reac-tnative link react-native-swift" which seemed to work better.

cd ios
pod install

(At this point, it fails) Need to change the pod ios to minimum of 10 and add dummy swift file
then pod install works

react-native run-ios

this fails giving me the XCTest error

Then I open the ios folder in XCode and try to build there, I realised that the "React" schema is missing from Product -> Scheme -> Manage Schemes -> double click project name -> Build -> target.

I remove the existing one and re-add React target again.

At this point, the project fails at
React/RCTBridgeModule.h not found issue.

anyone can actually install this on ios????

[VitaliyGaliy]

Have the same problem, please help!!!

[ajanmot]

I've found a temporary solution by installing the version 1.1.8.
npm i --save [email protected]

[pmatulla]

thanks @ajanmot . Works for me too.

[neoassyrian]

Whats the order of commands (installation steps)
I noticed that when I run
react-native link
It doesn't link the libraries. I have to run
react-native link react-native-track-player

Also, do we need react-native-swift? Or do we do the manual adding of the dummy.swift file and then adding the bridging header?
Do we need to run cd ios && pod install

Its still not working for me when I used @1.1.8 and it's confusing

npm install --save [email protected]
npm install --save react-native-swift
(react-native: 0.61.5 => no linking)
Change platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '10.0' in the podfile
Open Xcode: File -> New -> File, select Swift File -> Next -> Save as "dummy", where: select the second line, then click create. You will be prompted to create an objective-c Header. Click create Bridging Header.
Then cd ios, pod install. This should work without any errors.

On android it is not necessary to edit any file.

update: 02.05.2020:
I updated to player to to the newer version 1.2.2. with no problems at all.
Thanks!!

@pmatulla This worked fine. The only thing I had to change from your steps is to get the @1.1.8 version of the plugin.

I'm yet to try @rapsssito's pull request changes #873

in my case is crashing on android, you can help me?

[pmatulla]

I had initially the same problem. I don't now exactly how I have solved this. Maybe ./gradlew clean and ./gradlew build in the android directory or in android studio the project synced with graddle file. I am sure I have nothing installed or configured additionally.

[fpgce]

@pmatulla i install the @next (^2.0.0-rc13) version and works fine

[bradleyflood]

Yep installing yarn add react-native-trackplayer@next solved my similar issues too

See https://react-native-kit.github.io/react-native-track-player/install/#unstable

[rupal-simform]

None of the solution mentioned above singularly worked for me. I had to do following to make it work.

react-native-trackplayer 1.2.2
react-native 0.61.5

For the above, I did following steps:

1. Install react-native-trackplayer & react-native-swift
2. Change platform :ios, '9.0' to platform :ios, '10.0' in the podfile
3. Create a dummy.swift file as mentioned in this link.
4. Change the project/ios/podfile as following:
   i. Add modular_header for React pod: pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/', :modular_headers => true
   ii. Add post_install script for pods

1. Remove the example folder from react-native-trackplayer podspec
   
2. Install pods again

Voila! Pod installation successful.

This solved my issue although then I get a message which does not seem correct "[!] [Xcodeproj] Generated duplicate UUIDs:"

[curiousdustin]

@yazmnh87 we are working on a release to solve this.

Meanwhile, in addition to the steps you quoted, also add the following to react-native-trackplayer.podspec

s.exclude_files = ["ios/RNTrackPlayer/Vendor/AudioPlayer/Example"]

[emech-en]

@curiousdustin is there any better work around? I have to do this

@curiousdustin Is there any better workaround? I have to do this thing on every yarn install.

[curiousdustin]

You can try latest on dev branch. We are working on a release that will solve this and other issues.

[emech-en]

Is dev branch synced with version 2 or version 1.2.2 because in version 2 you have breaking changes

[curiousdustin]

dev is synced with v1.2.x.

Are you saying v2 has broken recently? Or that there are breaking changes going from v1.2.x to v2?

[emech-en]

No, I'm just using v1.2.2 and currently can not switch to v2. So I should test the dev branch to see how it works.

BTW thank you for your great component and your great support. 👍
And I don't know if v2 is broken or working :)

[emech-en]

@curiousdustin v1.2.3 solved this issue 👍
