I've searched and I believe my problem is quite unique. I'm aware of the Simulator 5.1 bug when using AVAudioPlayer which isn't my problem. I'm running on a iOS 5.1 device.
Here's my header file:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
-(IBAction)pushBell;
@end
and my implementation file:
#import "BellViewController.h"
@interface BellViewController ()
@end
@implementation BellViewController
-(IBAction)pushBell {
NSString *soundPath =[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"bell1" ofType:@"caf"];
NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath];
NSError *error;
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundURL error:&error];
[theAudio setDelegate:self];
[theAudio setNumberOfLoops:0];
[theAudio play];
}
@end
And I have a button in my .xib that plays the file.
To make sure I referenced my audio file correctly, I deliberately type a wrong file name and indeed I got an exception. To make sure the file is playable, I mailed it to myself and played it on the device.
When I tap the button I hear nothing. There are no errors. I don't know what is wrong.
More information iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1 Xcode 4.3.2 Audio is about 700kbps converted to .caf format using afconvert from a big .wav file.
SOLVED.
1.- Check if your file has been added to "Copy Bundle Resources" in Build Phases.
2.- ViewController.m
#import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
@interface ViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) AVAudioPlayer *theAudio;
- (IBAction)pushBell;
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *soundPath =[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"beep-beep" ofType:@"caf"];
NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath];
NSError *error = nil;
self.theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundURL error:&error];
}
- (IBAction)pushBell {
[self.theAudio play];
}
3.- Connect the IBAction to your button in Interface Builder.
Done.
