I am trying to update a five year old project to use a Notification with Custom Sound.
I down loaded the example from this forum, changed the custom sound from "Shotgun.mp3", to an mp3 of my choosing, compiled and Success.
I then copied the subs "Notification_WithCustomSound" and "CreateFileProviderUri" to a Service Module in my application I named "Tracker" , as in the code below. I renaming the sub "Notification_WithCustomSound" to Simple_Notification_3.
When I try to call Simple_Notification_3, (BTW, I know it is not a "Simple Notification") the Applications crashes on the final line of the CreateFileProviderUri sub.
If I call Simple_Notification_2, the application run as expected.
Originally, I was using the NB6 Module, but the application crashed when I updated to targetSdkVersion="33"
Changing to the Internal NB6 Library solved this problem but now the problem with Custom Sounds has arisen.
Oh, the joys of trying to update an old project.
Once again, any assistance greatly appreciated.

PS
I am aware of the new Notification requirements for Sdk Version 33 and am presently trying to learn what is required but, I don't think this is the problem here.
Sorry, I forgot to include the Crash report.
