[AptypTheKing]

Describe the Bug When start playing the file, the app is crashing. This happened only Android 14. No logs in console, but the log in the logcat in Android Studio shows:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main

The playing audio appears in notification center, but nothing is playing cause the app is crashed. Looks like somewhere receiver export is missing, but cannot find where.

Steps To Reproduce Normal setup on Android 14

How I can Help

Have you investigated the underlying JS or Swift/Android code causing this bug?

Looks like there is a problem with exoplayer2.

Notification notification = builder.build();
    notificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
    if (!isNotificationStarted) {
      context.registerReceiver(notificationBroadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
    }

I think in this function should be context.RECEIVER_EXPORTED, but it's read-only

@AptypTheKing please test this in the latest v4 RC. if it's still happening there I'll reopen.

@AptypTheKing please test this in the latest v4 RC. if it's still happening there I'll reopen.

Yes it is still happening

[AptypTheKing]

Will test in the nearest future

For me solved on last RC version

[raymondjacobson]

Hi all. What change fixed this issue?

[AptypTheKing]

@raymondjacobson update to the latest version

[raymondjacobson]

@AptypTheKing I am trying - but am seeing major issues that prevent a smooth upgrade from v3.2.0. Repeat no longer fires an event, etc. Is it possible to let me know what commit fixed this particular crash?

[AptypTheKing]

@raymondjacobson new version is better then old one. I strongly advice you to update. But if you really don't want, check the code and receivers export.

Is it this change? https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2174/files

When trying to upgrade to v4--

Number 6 here https://rntp.dev/docs/v4-migration#general-deprecations

Event.PlaybackTrackChanged - Please use [Event.PlaybackActiveTrackChanged](https://rntp.dev/docs/api/events#playbackactivetrackchanged). Also note that in 4.0 Event.PlaybackTrackChanged is no longer emitted when a track repeats.

It seems that if repeat mode is set, no event from useTrackPlayerEvents is fired at all when the active track ends. Is this a known bug?

Hi @raymondjacobson @AptypTheKing Did you found anything to fix this Android 14 Crash?

I am currently using Track Player version 3.2.0, and I prefer not to upgrade to the latest version due to the extensive changes required for migration.

Have you discovered any manual adjustments that can be made to resolve this issue? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

@mayank-paryani Hi, I don't have this crash since upgraded to the latest version. I also recommend you to upgrade if you don't have so much problems with dependencies.

@AptypTheKing Thank you for your assistance. I've successfully upgraded to version 4.0.1, resolving the crash issue on Android 14. However, I encountered an issue with the TrackPlayer.reset() method post-upgrade. In certain instances, this method caused crashes on Android devices, prompting me to remove it from certain areas.
