[expo-av] SDK 51: Sound.setOnPlaybackStatusUpdate() callback not called at regular inteval about expo

[cyanChill]

Fixed with [email protected] — working with development build, not yet with Expo Go (probably fixed in a future update).

Edit 5/14/2024: Seems to work in Expo Go as seen in the SDK 51 Snack above (probably fixed with [email protected]).

Edit: Minimum Expo SDK Client version 2.31.2 required?

@behenate I know that this issue has been marked as resolved, however I'm still getting this issue in Expo Go.

In our app listening to audio finished events is crucial to the working of the app (the app includes minigames which wait for audio to finish before progressing - this bug therefore renders them unplayable) . We currently use Expo Go (where we have been forced to upgrade to the new version) to test internally and don't have deployment builds setup as we haven't yet needed to do it so this currently blocks us.

Note: although devs can use an older version of Expo Go, my non-dev colleagues with an iOS device cannot.

Would it be possible to get an update on whether this is being actively worked on?

Thank you!

@howard-lingumi It should be fixed/work if you bump expo to [email protected].

Thanks @cyanChill however I still get the issue on [email protected] with [email protected] in Expo Go.

I'm testing on a physical android device. The audio plays, but the onPlaybackStatusUpdate update is no longer called with didJustFinish set to true. It was working fine in Expo 50.

I'm loading my audio from a local uri (in case that's relevant).

[cyanChill]

If loading through loadAsync({ uri: "file:///..." }), it seems to work on my end and setOnPlaybackStatusUpdate fires when "didJustFinish": true.

@cyanChill I've just tried running the snack example above on my android device via Expo Go and that also doesn't work.

The current position number doesn't increment either.

Here's a screen recording:

@howard-lingumi Try creating a development build. Expo Go is updated less frequently and most likely doesn't have the fix yet.

[cyanChill]

@howard-lingumi @behenate hmm, weirdly, I tried it one 2 different devices, worked on only one of them. The that it worked on had Client version 2.31.2 while the one that didn't had Client version 2.31.1.

I remember getting some sort of prompt in the terminal from Expo when building a development build (I think) that mentioned something along the lines of something being out of date and if I wanted to update (might have been the Expo Go app version or something).

Edit: Highlighting the important parts

Important

It seems that the minimum Expo Go "Client version" (see it in the "Settings" tab in Expo Go) required in order for this to work is Client version 2.31.2. I honestly don't know how to reproduce getting this version.

If you really need this feature working, try creating a local development build.

also not firing for me on Android device through Expo Go, but working on iOS devices and web.

Expo versions:

 "expo": "^51.0.8",
 "expo-av": "~14.0.5"
