WARN No task registered for key TrackPlayer

Question

I am using the react-native-track-player (2.1.3) to implement an audio player in a react-native application. When I initialize the track player in my project I get the following warning message.

WARN No task registered for key TrackPlayer

I followed one of the solutions found in a similar closed GitHub issue, but it is opened a very long time ago. Anyhow it did not work, also.

Following is the solution found in GitHub: (Add the following code to index.js (the entry file of the app))

import TrackPlayer from 'react-native-track-player';

TrackPlayer.setupPlayer({}).then(async () => {
})

If somebody is using react-native-track-player and solve this issue, can you please provide an answer?

Hi I am also using track player in my project. my solution is add service in index.js file you can try this one

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';
import TrackPlayer from 'react-native-track-player';


AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);
TrackPlayer.registerPlaybackService(() => require('./service.js'));

and I have created service.js file inside my root folder

import TrackPlayer from 'react-native-track-player';


module.exports = async function () {

  try {
    TrackPlayer.addEventListener('remote-play', () => {
      TrackPlayer.play()
    })

    TrackPlayer.addEventListener('remote-pause', () => {
      TrackPlayer.pause()
    });

    TrackPlayer.addEventListener('remote-next', () => {
      TrackPlayer.skipToNext()
    });

    TrackPlayer.addEventListener('remote-previous', () => {
      TrackPlayer.skipToPrevious()
    });

    TrackPlayer.addEventListener('remote-stop', () => {
      TrackPlayer.destroy()
    });
  } catch (error) { }

};
