1. No crash/error.

I have been having this too. Heres how I solved this one.

1. react-native init app-name && cd app-name
2. yarn add react-native-voice
3. cd ios
4. pod install
5. Edit ios/app-name/Info.plist and add the permissions from the readme.
6. open the workspace in xcode
7. run from xcode (you may be able to do this with react-native run-ios, I'm not sure)

I still dont have this lib working correctly but at least I'm past this error

I ran into the same issue. Nothing helps me. Are there any solutions here?

I ran into the same issue. Nothing helps me. Are there any solutions here?

I decided to point my installation to master: in package.josn
"react-native-voice": "github:react-native-community/react-native-voice",
Or
npm install react-native-voice@'react-native-community/react-native-voice'

Then just follow the manual linking instructions.

Thank you for help! But unfortunately, I'm still faced with this error (

make sure you do the following 2 things for iOS [https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-voice#manually-link-ios]

1. Drag the Voice.xcodeproj from the react-native-voice/ios folder to the Libraries group on Xcode in your poject. Manual linking

2) Click on your main project file (the one that represents the .xcodeproj) select Build Phases and drag the static library, lib.Voice.a, from the Libraries/Voice.xcodeproj/Products folder to Link Binary With Libraries

I had the problem, and performed the 2 steps fixed the issue. Try clean the project and rebuild again? Good luck

@hokaiyipFS's solution worked, but I also had to run 'react-native unlink react-native-voice'

@chukwuezi did you solve your problem?

[pgqueme]

Adding the following line to my Podfile was necessary to build:
pod 'react-native-voice', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-community/voice'

[AliAmjadHassan]

in my case, I run
react-native link @react-native-community/voice
navigate to the ios folder
run pod install
cleaned the project and rebuilt
the error is gone.
also in the constructor please make sure that you bind "this" keyword like this
Voice.onSpeechStart = this.onSpeechStartHandler.bind(this);
