It should still work in Thunkable Live on an Android phone Hey @hemahetalhoajbl @hhuman (& @tatiang ) Yeah, I’m confused by this - I’ve literally just spoken to another user on chat support who says that Android plays fine but iOS is not working for them. Can you both just confirm you’re on the latest version of Thunkable Live? ---

I’m having the same problem - iOS audio suddenly stopped working. Eagerly awaiting an update, thanks team. ---

It’s been 6 business days. I’m really hoping for a fix soon. My app has been on the app store for 9 days broken… I know it’s my fault for publishing it that way but I had assumed the sound feature would work from one version to the next. So eager to get this working for my customers. ---

Just had a quick look there and I can see that we have updates for testing this week around error handling and error messaging in the sound component. There’s still some updates to be done on the component itself but we’re making progress! ---

Hey Guys, this is the best solution I was able to come up with regarding solutions for this situation. I realized that maybe God wants me to launch my app without the sound and then I was like, “Why not?” And then I just went with it and anything is possible so here is the link to the world’s most non-artificial intelligence mobile application for the salvation of mankind: Visit [geeznjeez.com](http://geeznjeez.com). I’m just doing my part by sharing it with you here first and if the admins see this post fit for another thread, please do your magic. For android users, here’s a link to the last working .apk before it went into the silence: [Jesus 2.0 Beta 10](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uvUEKLE86gFEMzs0oTCEUwQdPaCdElLl/view?usp=sharing) ---

My team (kids) decided to add sound to their app yesterday. I was glad we have an android phone to test on now - we wasted some time trying to figure out why the iPhone they were using wasn’t working first… ---

This happened to me a lot, and I am not sure why. I didn’t really find a way to fix, instead I just switched to mainly using the live preview available. ---

Post of a screenshot of your blocks.

Hi guys, I have a simple function where the user can record a soundfile with one button and then play it with another button. On android it works fine. On ios it does not work. No sound playing. When alerting the source of the sound, it gives me a correct \*.m4a file. Iam not sure, but maybe this was working some days ago. Any ideas? ---

If you check the value of the green “error” block (you should always check the value using a label), you will probably get a message that the source could not be loaded. That’s the known bug I mentioned.
