setCategory no longer working

[anshul-kai]

Both the static and non-static Sound.setCategory methods are no longer working after upgrading RN from 0.39.2 to 0.42.0 and RNS from github:zmxv/react-native-sound to 0.9.0.

I've resolved to fixing this by adding the following snippet to the end of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method under AppDelegate.m.

  AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
  NSError *setCategoryError = nil;
  BOOL success = [audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&setCategoryError];
  if (!success) { /* handle the error condition */ }
  NSError *activationError = nil;
  success = [audioSession setActive:YES error:&activationError];
  if (!success) { /* handle the error condition */ }

I have the same issue. Without using Sound.setCategory it works perfectly, but if I use it I get this :

(On iOS simulator, and using react-native-sound version 0.9.0 )

I did not manage to fix it using @a-koka 's hot fix.

@a-koka Thanks, I'll take a look at this one now.

I can reproduce this one - seems that the native side isn't dealing with leaving off a value for the 'mixWithOthers' parameter to setCategory. I can fix this.

@a-koka @ronangaillard Fixed.

EDIT: I've pushed 0.9.1 to npm.

Thanks for the bug report!
