react-native-track-player: Unable to reproduce audio after build/release(android) due invalid source

Describe the Bug Hey guys, I am using the last RC(4.0.0-rc07) and I facing a problem when building in release mode in Android, in debug works fine, but soon after building using the release mode, the player is unable to resolve the path of the audios files, no matter if we use import or required, always resolve by joining the path to the assets without extension.

Steps To Reproduce How can someone else reproduce this bug? Build the apk in mode release and try to run the app on a real Android device, you will get the error message source error when hit the play button

Code To Reproduce Please provide a simple code example that allows others to replicate the bug. Just follow the react-native-track-player/tree/main/example in release mode

Replicable on Example App? Can you replicate this bug in the React Native Track Player Example App? Yes When I tried to create a release of the example, I got this error > Task :app:createBundleReleaseJsAndAssets FAILED

@akshaymanagooli I applied the changes from the pull request: https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2194

Basically very minor edit, you only need to change line no 38 of trackPlayer.ts as seen here: https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2194/files

I happen to have.a release build of the example app and can confirm it happens in the example app with rc07 Screenshot_20230825_081118_RNTP Example

And fyi with other local paths with rn fetch blob you can just put file:///… As your uri

@lovegaoshi that’s strange, but:

require() in both modes returns a valid number
when I trying to call player.load(track) - everything worked correctly (thanks for that)
but if I’m trying to call player.add(track); player.play() - android debug mode works ok, but in release mode background audio widget is starting, loading for a while and then just closes.

Hey guys I would like to add that the Rc 4.0.0-rc05 works fine in release mode.
