"Error: There was an issue creating the audio player [1]." While preparing audioPlayer on IOS.

[HelioBaOb]

Hi,

I´m trying to call the method "Create" For the audioPlayer:

async playSelectedAudio(url: string, title: string, image?: string) {
this.currentAudioUrl = url;
this.currentAudioTitle = title;
this.currentAudioImage = image || 'assets/img/login-background.png';

try{
  await this.prepareAudio();
  await this.playAudio();
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error al reproducir el audio:', error);
}

async prepareAudio() {
try{
console.log('preparando audio...')
const apInitialized = await AudioPlayer.create({
audioId: 'bgMusic_' + this.currentAudioTitle,
friendlyTitle: this.currentAudioTitle,
audioSource: this.currentAudioUrl, //
useForNotification: false,
isBackgroundMusic: true
});
console.log('Preparación de audio completada', apInitialized.success);
} catch(e) {
console.error('Error preparing audio:', e);
}
}

async playAudio() {
try{
console.log('Reproduciendo audio');
await AudioPlayer.play({ audioId: 'bgMusic' });
} catch(e) {
console.error('Error playing audio:', e);
}
}

I also added this to my info.plist:

But i´m facing the error "Error: There was an issue creating the audio player [1].". I don´t understand why im having this error because i follow the documentation correctly (or that´s what I think). I already try with a example url but it didn´t work either. Can someone please help me understand what is happening? I´been hours trying to figure out what´s going on but I haven´t been able to pull this up : (.

Hey! Thanks for trying out the plugin. In the future, please use proper code blocks so we can more easily read your code.

It looks like the issue is that you must have an audio source where useForNotification = true first before any other audio sources are added/created.

useForNotification

Whether to use this audio file for the notification. This is considered the primary audio to play. It must be created first and you may only have one at a time. (source)

Thanks fo the help!

The error disapeared but now when the method .create() is called, the result of it is undefined. Now I don´t understand why i´m having that result. I also had this error when trying to play de audios (I´m pretty sure that is because of the undefined AudioPlayer):

MediagridCapacitorNativeAudio/AudioSource.swift:137: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value

I fixed this error by adding the method onAudioReady before trying to play de audio, but now never gets to execute the play method. This is my code:

Note: I thought it had to be some problem with the url I was using (https://zenuamediatest.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/audios/Audio_22.mp3), but now i´m trying with the example url and it doesn´t work either.

After create, you need to also call initialize. This is so you can register any callbacks in between. Take a look at the example - https://github.com/mediagrid/capacitor-native-audio/blob/main/example/src/js/example.ts

Thanks for the fast reply!

Unfortunatly, i´m still facing the undefined result when calling the create method:

I tried to copy the example you send:

But i´m still struggling with the reproduction part. I call the methods for the creation and reproduction here:

The docs are actually wrong or maybe I should update the code...LOL. create actually doesn't return anything at the moment. It calls call.resolve() without passing it anything. See https://github.com/mediagrid/capacitor-native-audio/blob/main/ios/Sources/AudioPlayerPlugin/AudioPlayerPlugin.swift#L124. Sorry for the confusion.

FYI, I am out of the office the rest of the week so I won't be able to respond until next week.
