React Native Audio Player Demo

This React Native app uses the react-native-sound library to play an audio file.

See https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-sound

There was a little trouble getting started. Their documentation says to link the package like this:

react-native link react-native-sound

I didn't do that, because supposedly you do not have to in React Native 6 and above.

I wound up getting the undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNSound.IsAndroid') error that they mention in the docs. I was afraid to use the link functionality because I don't know what it does :)

I edited the Android files settings.gradle and app/build.gradle and tinkered around a little bit until it worked.

The current version of this app works to play the embedded audio file.

Here's what the app looks like. It has a very simple view.
