Has the issue with audio on iOS been resolved? ---

Not yet @carlinmclellan - we have a number of updates scheduled for testing tomorrow and hopefully then most, if not all, of the will be able to go out on Thursday. Keep an eye on the #announcements for an official release update when this goes out. ---

Hi all, I’m in the same boat here. I finished an app more than a year ago at which time sounds (mp3s built in the app) were all working really well in both iOS and Android. I have just revisited that app and without any changes, a download to Android works as expected, and to iOS **everything works EXCEPT the sounds**. I’m glad I resisted the temptation to jump in and rearrange things because it sounds as though it perhaps isn’t my own fault, for once. 🙂 ---

I tried an iOS build yesterday and no. It’s still not playing audio. ---

Hello - I have an app that plays a simple 2 second sound that worked fine a few weeks ago and recently redownloaded it after the big thunkable update and now I can’t get any audio to play on ios - live or downloaded. It works fine on the browser. I have had this issue before and it was the file name but that is not the issue this time. ---

Please refer to the original post > [@\[Solved\] Sound playback not working](https://community.thunkable.com/t/in-progress-sound-playback-not-working/1178133): > > Anyone else having a problem with sound playback in Thunkable Live and TestFlight? I have an app that was working fine and I haven’t changed the blocks on the screen where sound playback occurs. But on iOS devices, there is no sound. It works fine on Android devices. ---

Yeah I am still having this issue as well, but luckily my app does not rely on sound even though it uses it. I know some people need a fix though. ---

We tested a new fix for this yesterday and it passed with flying colours @tmurachpx. If it doesn’t make it into today’s release then it should be out early next week. Thanks for you patience with this. cc: @cyberdriver @carlinmclellan @TGee @tanisshagunjal @tatiang @tony.ycy.program @aanshi6 @catsarisky @hhuman @rsccreativelab0n0aeo @hemahetalhoajbl ---
