NowPlayingTemplate Is Not Working

[syedslegend786]

I have a working react native audio podcast player app, built using React Native Track Player.
My client requested to allow app to run in Android Auto. I came to know about this library. I was exploring, but the main template
NowPlayingTemplate is not working. When i push template the app stop running and closed.

This is my code:

const template = new NowPlayingTemplate({
      buttons: [
        {
          id: 'foo',
          type: 'more',
        },
        {
          id: 'demo',
          type: 'playback',
        },
        {
          id: 'baz',
          type: 'image',
          image: require('../images/star.png'),
        },
      ],
      albumArtistButtonEnabled: true,
      upNextButtonTitle: 'Tester',
      upNextButtonEnabled: false,
      onUpNextButtonPressed() {
        console.log('up next was pressed');
      },
      onButtonPressed(e) {
        console.log(e);
      },
    });
    CarPlay.enableNowPlaying(true);
    CarPlay.pushTemplate(template);

Same thing. I'm also not able to create NowPlayingTemplate.

I'm also running into issues with the NowPlayingTemplate, also using react-native-track-player. Here's the stacktrace I get when it gets pushed:
