Apply this change in app.json or app.config.js:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": ["@react-native-voice/voice"]
  }
}

Next, rebuild app as "Adding custom native code" guide.

expo run:android

getting this issue

[vishnu-neopay]

This error only on emmulator or expo go app that you install in your mobile if check this library are working So build a eas development -p all --profile platform and also expo dev client use so library is working("https://docs.expo.dev/development/getting-started/#developing-your-app")

[danielshaban1]

Same issue here!!!

[danielshaban1]

Any solution?

[vishnu-neopay]

it will not run in development mode.. just make a build and run app

[inglesuniversal]

Can this project run with the standard Expo account? Without ejecting the APP or do I need the EAS Plan?

[josethz00]

any progress on this issue? This project is still maintained?

[aha85b]

it will not run in development mode.. just make a build and run app

Did you get it to work at all? I have followed all instructions but it did not work.

You have to eject your expo app in order to use the native functionalities, like audio recording.

Even after ejecting the app, it is still does not work.

[mchriss]

Did you add these lines to your AndroidManifest file?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
<queries> <package android:name="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"/> </queries>
