AudioServicesPlaySystemSound not playing any sound in iOS 8 device

I have AVFoundation and AudioToolbox frameworks added to my project. In the class from where I want to play a system sound, I #include <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h> and I call AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1007);. I'm testing in a device running iOS 8, sounds are on and volume is high enough, but I don't hear any system sound when I run the app and AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1007); is called... what could I be missing?

Solution

  • This will play system sound.

    But remember system sound will not play longer sound.

    NSString *pewPewPath  = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"engine" ofType:@"mp3"];
NSURL *pewPewURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pewPewPath];
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)pewPewURL, &_engineSound);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(_engineSound);
