MacOS creates files you don't want. Search the forum for .DS_Store:sounds.json and you'll find plenty of threads about it.

I remember seeing similar question in previous posts, and iirc it's mac's problem that it reads some files that isn't supposed to be read

ok I will look at the forum thank you so much!!

 

Ok I found this to fix the problem on Mac of .DS_Stores

navigate to the project folder and then type this command:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

then type this very carefully:

find . -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;

Basically it disables .DS_Store creation and then deletes all the .DS_Store creation.

don't get rid of the -name ".DS_Store" flag or it will delete things you don't want deleted.
