Can't install nativescript-ffmpeg-plugin on nativescript

Running ns plugin add nativescript-ffmpeg-plugin produces the following error.

Manually installing nativescript-hook (i.e. npm i nativescript-hook --save-dev) allows this plugin to be installed, but attempting to build the app on iOS fails with the following error:

I tried this on:

  • Mac development environment
  • iOS 14
  • emulator: iPhone 8

Nativescript details:

  • CLI: 7.0.8
  • Cross-platform modules: 7.0.5
  • Runtime(s): 7.0.0
  • Plugin(s):
  "dependencies": {
    "@nativescript/core": "~7.0.0",
    "@nativescript/theme": "~2.3.0",
    "nativescript-ffmpeg-plugin": "0.0.2",
    "nativescript-vue": "~2.8.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "~7.11.6",
    "@babel/preset-env": "~7.11.5",
    "@nativescript/ios": "7.0.0",
    "@nativescript/webpack": "~3.0.3",
    "babel-loader": "~8.1.0",
    "nativescript-hook": "^0.2.5",
    "nativescript-vue-template-compiler": "~2.8.1",
    "node-sass": "^4.14.1",
    "vue-loader": "~15.9.3"
  },

You can easily recreate the issue by doing the following:

ns create ffmpeg --vue
cd ffmpeg
npm i nativescript-hook --save-dev
ns plugin add nativescript-ffmpeg-plugin
npm run debug-ios

Has anyone successfully installed the plugin recently and have any tips for getting around these issues?

Solution

  • I installed nativescript-ffmpeg-plugin-fixed which has worked without issue on NS7.
