I was only able to reproduce this crash once, but I took a screenshot:
The root cause is that
audioPlayer
is set to nil on the react-native thread, not the main thread. So, even though we change for nil on line 338, there's no guarantee it's still not nil on line 340.This PR will wrap the
audioPlayer = nil
mutation inDispatchQueue.main.async
.I also changed the time observer to keep a weak reference to self, because the apple docs state this is important to prevent a retain cycle: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayer/1385829-addperiodictimeobserverforinterv?language=swift
