Can't load file on device

Hi, I’m working on a simple soundboard app (source code is available at https://github.com/sexykodo/mlcSoundboard) that automatically fetches remote audio files according to a JSON and puts them in MainBundle with RNFetchBlob.

It’s something like this:

fetchRemoteFile = (obj) => {
        RNFetchBlob
            .config({
                path : RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.MainBundleDir + encodeURI(obj.Path) //target path
            })
            .fetch('GET', MAIN_URL + encodeURI(obj.Path), {})
            .then((res) => {
                // the conversion is done in native code
                // the following conversions are done in js, it's SYNC
                console.log('The file saved to ', res.path())
            })
            // Status code is not 200
            .catch((errorMessage, statusCode) => {
                // error handling
                console.log(errorMessage)
            })
    }

In this way I can dynamically sync local files with remote ones (I want the soundboard to work offline). Everything works like a charm on IOS Simulator.

On physical device though, when I load the local file I get an errorcode “ENSOSSTATUSERRORDOMAIN2003334207”, wich is similar to #64 and probably caused by files not being included in Resources.

Is it actually possible to programmatically save an audio file (with RNFetchBlob) and play it?

Thanks in advance

I was getting the same error when trying to play the file right away. This workaround fixes it for me (but it’s hacky). Both timeouts are necessary:

setTimeout(() => {
  var sound = new Sound(this.state.audioPath, '', (error) => {
    /* ... */
  });

  setTimeout(() => {
    sound.play((success) => {
      /* ... */
    });
  }, 100);
}, 100);

@maurovisintin, thank you for your response. Your solution didn’t work for me but I figured out the problem and got it resolved this way: RNFetchBlob.config({ fileCache: true, })… when initializing the sound const sound = new Sound(file.Path,‘’, error => {… The sound bundle must be an empty string ‘’ in iOS.
