Does AVAudioPlayerthe file format support .wav?

And what other formats are supported AVAudioPlayer?

Answer 1

Yes, AVAudioPlayerit gives you the ability to play files .wav.

This is pretty straight forward:

// in the corresponding .h file:
// @property (nonatomic, retain) AVAudioPlayer *player;

// in the .m file:
@synthesize player; // the player object

NSString *soundFilePath =
            [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"sound"
                                            ofType: @"wav"];

NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: soundFilePath];

AVAudioPlayer *newPlayer =
            [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: fileURL
                                                   error: nil];
[fileURL release];

self.player = newPlayer;
[newPlayer release];

[player prepareToPlay];
