Expo Audio.Recording Cannot read property 'uri' of undefined - react-native

Question

I'm trying to start a new recording in Expo react native but for some odd reason the app crashes.
The code i written is pretty much copy paste from the official expo docs.
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Audio } from 'expo-av';
import PitchFinder from "pitchfinder";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Button } from 'react-native';
const Tuner = () => {
const pitchFinder = new PitchFinder.YIN();
const start = async () => {
const recording = new Audio.Recording();
console.log(recording)
await recording.prepareToRecordAsync(Audio.RECORDING_OPTIONS_PRESET_HIGH_QUALITY);
await recording.startAsync();
const audio_stream = recording.getURI();
console.log(audio_stream);
await recording.stopAndUnloadAsync();
}
return (
<View>
<Button title="Start recording" onPress={() => start()} />
</View>
)
};
export default Tuner;
The app crashes at await recording.prepareToRecordAsync(Audio.RECORDING_OPTIONS_PRESET_HIGH_QUALITY);
with the error
Unhandled Rejection (TypeError): Cannot read property 'uri' of undefined

Answer 1

please check Expo documentation again
check permission
https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/audio/
try with
const recording = new Audio.Recording();
try {
await recording.prepareToRecordAsync(Audio.RECORDING_OPTIONS_PRESET_HIGH_QUALITY);
await recording.startAsync();
// You are now recording!
} catch (error) {
// An error occurred!
}
