Auth.authorize() crashes the app

[oogunjob]

Every single time I try to use this function the app crashes. Here is the function that I have created that is called whenever the user pressed a button.

    const onAuth = () => {
        Auth.authorize()
        .then((status) => console.log('Authorize:', status))
        .catch(console.error);
    };

I'm using Expo but I've created a development build in order to install the necessary native modules and packages. Been struggling with this all day and I've already tried removing and re-installing the nodule_modules folder. Has anyone else ran into this issue or know how to resolve it?

Could you please provide:

• Expo version
• Xcode version
• React native version

Also, do you tried too catch crash message through xcode?

I'm not using Xcode, I'm developing on Windows but I've been creating a development build after installing your library

[MatthewPattell]

@oogunjob be noticed, this library supports only IOS

[oogunjob]

Hello @MatthewPattell , I've only been using it on iOS. The thing that also has been confusing me is that there's not even an option for me to provide or initialize my Apple developer token for the MusicKit API.

I've again created a dev build since I am using Expo which performs the pod-install for me, but could the reason for the instant crash be because there is no place for me to input the developer token?

Could you please provide a code example or a video demonstrating what is supposed to happen? I've been stuck on this addition for weeks :(

You don't need provide any developer tokens. Please take a look at example.
Here is example: https://github.com/Lomray-Software/react-native-apple-music/tree/prod/example

Also I would recommend you run it in Xcode and take a look at crash logs.

PS: Make sure what you have this key in yout Info.plist:

<key>NSAppleMusicUsageDescription</key>
<string>Allow to continue</string>

[oogunjob]

"ios": { "infoPlist": { "NSAppTransportSecurity": { "NSAllowsArbitraryLoads": true }, "NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription": "Location based notifications based on events happening in your area", "NSAppleMusicUsageDescription": "Listen to music while you browse" }, "runtimeVersion": { "policy": "appVersion" } },

Also here is my expo build properties setting the deployment build for iOS to 16
[ "expo-build-properties", { "android": { "compileSdkVersion": 34, "targetSdkVersion": 34, "buildToolsVersion": "34.0.0" }, "ios": { "deploymentTarget": "16.0" } } ],

I've added the key there as well in my app.json file. And unfortunately I do not have a MacOS machine to run Xcode. Another person I know who is also working on the app with this library in expo is experiencing the same crashes.

@oogunjob I advise you to find mac and debug it through xcode
