Build fails on Android for release build

[firmanjml]

Description

Hi, I’ve been working with audio using this library and have really enjoyed it. Everything worked perfectly during development, but when I tried building the application in Android Studio, I kept encountering this error message, even on two different machines.

I’ve already tried clearing the Gradle cache, deleting the node_modules, and reverting to older versions, but the issue still persists.

The project folder name is replaced to ****** for this issue purpose

ninja: error: mkdir(src/main/cpp/audioapi/CMakeFiles/react-native-audio-api.dir/C_/Users/firmanjml/Desktop/******/node_modules/react-native-audio-api): No such file or directory

mkdir(src/main/cpp/audioapi/CMakeFiles/react-native-audio-api.dir/C_/Users/firmanjml/Desktop/******/node_modules/react-native-audio-api) I'm not expert on windows os, but it does look suspicious on the first glance. src/main.cpp/audioapi/CMakeFiles/react-native-audio-api.dir and then your system paths C_/Users/..., are you sure that these paths are correct?

[firmanjml]

Hi @mdydek

Yes, the path "C_/Users/...." is correct -> "C:\Users\firmanjml\Desktop\******\"

[michalsek]

@firmanjml the reason we are concerned is that it looks like two separate paths were concatenated together

src/main/cpp/audioapi/CMakeFiles/react-native-audio-api.dir/C_/Users/firmanjml/Desktop/******/node_modules/react-native-audio-api

suggests that the system tries to find the C_/Users/firmanjml/Desktop/******/node_modules/react-native-audio-api inside src/main/cpp/audioapi/CMakeFiles/react-native-audio-api

This looks like the same CMake path issue on Windows. Check out this solution:
