You need to add permissions

Please follow this docs https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediarecorder

You need to ask for permissions before recording, its not part of the library

i give permission manually now i got this error const _handleOnRecording = async () => { if (recording) { setRecording(false); const res = await RecordScreen.stopRecording().catch((error) => console.warn(error), ); console.log('res', res); if (res) { setUri(res.result.outputURL); } } else { setUri(''); setRecording(true); await RecordScreen.startRecording().catch((error) => { console.warn(error); setRecording(false); setUri(''); }); } };

You will have to run it from android studio to see native errors in the log, cant say much from this.

Try to ask for audio permissions before

await PermissionsAndroid.request(
    PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECORD_AUDIO,
    {
      title: 'App audio Permission',
      message:
        'App needs access to your camera ',
      buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
      buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
      buttonPositive: 'OK'
    }
  )

Are you testing this in emulator? I think you have to use real device for screen recording

ok let me check on real device and also on ios i m getting error while install pod [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "react-native-screen-recorder":

[voslartomas]

No idea about ios, it should install from node modules, maybe try to update cocoa pods cache

[ahsanparacha02]

aybe try to update cocoa pods cache

i m getting same error on real device as well

[voslartomas]

Running out of ideas, anything else in the logs which may be interesting?

@ahsanparacha02 It might have been related with Android 10. There is a new release with fix.
