Runtime error rendering to the screen in React Native 0.79

[mcervantes3]

Describe the Bug
When using React Native 0.79, the app will render a runtime error that was not there before the library was implemented.

The exact error:

"TypeError: the first argument to setImmediate must be a function"

Steps To Reproduce
Install the library in React Native 0.79 and set up a player. Restart the application and when the app launches see if you get a runtime error.

I was able to find a temporary workaround using the patch package. I replaced the code at line 72 in trackPlayer.ts in node_modules > react-native-track-player > src > trackplayer.ts > registerPlaybackService() with this code block:

export function registerPlaybackService(factory: () => ServiceHandler) {
  if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
    // Registers the headless task
    AppRegistry.registerHeadlessTask('TrackPlayer', factory);
  } else if (Platform.OS === 'web') {
    factory()();
  } else {
    // Initializes and runs the service in the next tick
   setTimeout(() => {
  const service = factory();
  if (typeof service === 'function') {
    service();
  } else {
    console.warn('[TrackPlayer] Playback service factory did not return a function. Logic may be initializing too early.');
  }
}, 0);
  }

React Native version: 0.79.2
react-native-track-player version: 4.1.2

I really don't like the idea of having to make patches in my node_modules. It works, but it feels very wrong.

Has anyone else had this issue and know of any other workarounds?

are u sure ur patch actually gives a functional app?

i suspect its a new arch vs v4 issue. u can find a plethora of new arch issues and solutions in the board. for nee arch compatibility please see the example app and go from there. i believe it has rn 0.79.

I already had newArchEnabled set to false
