Trying to play an audio file with react-native

Question

I just started getting my hands on React Native and am currently trying to play an audio file in a test app. But it does not work at this point. Here is what I do:

First setting the app, on the terminal.

$ expo init TestAudio
$ cd TestAudio
$ npm install react-native-sound --save
$ npm run web
$ cp ...../TEST.mp3 .

Then here is how I set up the App.js file: (Its is mainly inspired from information I gathered from various samples and documents I found on the net, please tell me if something is wrong..)

import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import { StyleSheet, Button, View } from    'react-native';
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import Sound from 'react-native-sound';

export default function App() {
  let control_Local, localSound = require('./TEST.  mp3');

  useEffect(() => {
    Sound.setCategory('Playback', true);
    return () => {
      if (control_Local) control_Local.release();
    };
  }, []);

  const playSound_Local = () => {
    control_Local = new Sound(localSound, (error,   _sound) => {
      if (error) {
        alert('error' + error.message);
        return;
      }
      control_Local.play(() => {
        control_Local.release();
      });
    });
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button title='Play-Sound!'
            onPress={playSound_Local}
      />

      <StatusBar style="auto" />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

Unfortunately it does not work and this is the error message I get in the web console:

./node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Image/AssetSourceResolver.js:24:17
Module not found: Can't resolve '../Utilities/Platform'
  22 | 
  23 | const PixelRatio = require('../Utilities/PixelRatio');
> 24 | const Platform = require('../Utilities/Platform');
     |                 ^
  25 | 
  26 | const invariant = require('invariant');
  27 | index.js:1

Searching the net based on the error message, shows that it is not such an uncommon issue, but I didn't see any clear solution.

Has someone had the same problem to solve or has an idea of what to do? ​
