IOS Volume is always 0

[Karniej]

Hello there,
I'm working on an app and cannot get the package to work
RN version is 62.2

I added and linked the library correctly, but whenever I call the function

SystemSettings.getVolume('system').then(data => console.log(data) I get the same amount all the time, even when I changed the volume on the simulator.

Anyone had the same issue ?

Okay I found out that it doesn't work on Simulator - only on Physical device - please add it to the docummentation.
If you don't have time - i'll make a PR :)

hello dev, first of all, thank you for your hard work. @Karniej Unfortunatelly I also have this issue:

All of these return 0 on IOS:

const volumeMusic = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('music');
const volumeSystem = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('system');
const volumeCall = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('call');
const volumeAlarm = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('alarm');
const volumeNotification = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('notification');
const volumeRing = await this.getSystemSettingsVolume('ring');

but when using listener, IOS returns data.value that has expected value

type TSystemSettingsVolumeListenerData = {
    alarm: number,
    call: number,
    music: number,
    notification: number,
    ring: number,
    system: number,
    value: number,
};

SystemSetting.addVolumeListener((data: TSystemSettingsVolumeListenerData) => {
  // IOS does not return anything but data.value
  // Android lists TSystemSettingsVolumeListenerData
  const volume = isIos ? data.value : data.music; // workaround
  this._setAppVolumeLevel(volume);
});

@LeDanielH I recommend trying out on a physical device -then you can test it out correctly. :)

@LeDanielH this library only works with physical devices. A simulator always returns 0 for volume and a device returns the correct volume level.

I have a similar problem and to me it seems like the entire library isn't working for me.

I tested it on a device and installed the library normally with npm i

My Code is as followed
` componentDidMount(): void {
this.interval = setInterval(this.checkVolume, 500);
}

checkVolume() {
	SystemSetting.getVolume('music').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({musicVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
	SystemSetting.getVolume('system').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({systemVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
	SystemSetting.getVolume('call').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({callVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
	SystemSetting.getVolume('alarm').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({alarmVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
	SystemSetting.getVolume('notification').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({notificationVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
	SystemSetting.getVolume('ring').then((checkedVolume)=>{
		this.setState({ringVolume: checkedVolume});
	});
}

`

No matter how much I change the volume on my device, it always stays 0?
