*Closing ticket* Verified improvement in SDK version 8.0.0.v20181121114345. Able to get the deprecation message when not using the Ti.SystemAlert module. And when using the module no deprecation message is shown and sound is played without any issues. *Test Steps:*

Created a new application with the following code

   var player = Ti.Media.createSystemAlert({url:"alert.wav"});
   player.play();

Added a .wav file int the resources directory

Ran the program and got the following deprecation message (sound still played)

   [WARN] :   The iOS-only SystemAlert API has been deprecated and moved to an external module in 8.0.0.
   [WARN] :   It will be removed from the core in the future, please migrate!

Now downloaded the `ti.systemalert` module

Changed the code in the application to

   var SystemAlert = require('ti.systemalert');
   
   var mySystemAlert = SystemAlert.createSystemAlert({
       url: 'alert.wav'
   });
   mySystemAlert.play();

Sound played without any issue and no warning messages were shown

*Test Environment*

   APPC Studio: 5.1.0.201808080937
   iPhone 7 Sim (iOS 12.1)
   APPC CLI: 7.0.8-5
   Operating System Name: Mac OS Mojave
   Operating System Version: 10.14.1
   Node.js Version: 8.9.1
   Xcode 10.1

[~max87], sorry about that. The repo was private. We just made it public now.
