NativeScript re-write of the Divine Mercy App

Divine Mercy App

nativescript-audio-player and background audio

By default, nativescript-audio-player (used for playing the chaplet audio) is unable to play audio in background mode. To resolve this, we set the audio session category to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback when initializing the native iOS player.

1. Open node_modules/nativescript-audio-player/ios/player.js
2. After line 80, which should contain var audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance();, add a new line: audioSession.setCategoryWithOptionsError(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, 2);
3. Add the same line after line 154 (previously 153)

These changes are not tracked, and will need to be re-applied whenever this node module is reinstalled.

date-picker and time-picker in iOS UI

The native date-picker and time-picker UI components can occasionally cause a crash on loading in iOS. To prevent this, we need to edit some files which control these UI elements.

1. Open node_modules/@nativescript/core/ui/date-picker/date-picker.ios.js
2. Comment out line 77, which should contain return SUPPORT_TEXT_COLOR ? this.nativeViewProtected.valueForKey("textColor") : UIColor.new();
3. Open node_modules/@nativescript/core/ui/time-picker/time-picker.ios.js
4. Comment out line 101, which should contain return SUPPORT_TEXT_COLOR ? this.nativeViewProtected.valueForKey("textColor") : UIColor.new();

These changes are not tracked, and will need to be re-applied whenever this node module is reinstalled.
