Hello, at Fiverr a young programmer made an app for me in Ionic. He taught me how to compile. It doesn’t play music in Android 9. He said it would be solved after an update, but it is still not playing it works fine in Android 8 and 7. Can anyone please help me?

Please list out:

1. output of “ionic info”
2. how do you play music (native plugin or web audio)?
3. android / ios / web?
4. play mp3 or other format?

Thank you sonicwong for replying.

I will try to find out what you mean by ionic info and give it.

It is Android and mp3.

Can you tell me how to find out if the programmer has used a native plugin or web audio?

Thank you for helping

Ok, I have found the answers:

1. 

Ionic:

Ionic CLI : 5.2.1

Utility:

cordova-res : not installed  
native-run : 0.2.7

System:

NodeJS : v10.16.0  
npm : 6.9.0  
OS : Windows 10

1. The start of playing is with the playTrack() function, I can not see if this is for native plugin
