Audio file not playing for iOS 8 swift - audio

Question

This is the code i'm using:
var aSound = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("abc", ofType: "mp3"))
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
println(aSound)
audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: aSound, error: nil)
audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()
audioPlayer.play()
I'm trying to print the path of the file and this is what I see in the console.
file:///Users/<username>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<some GUID>/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/<some different GUID>/HelloWorld.app/abc.mp3
I have added the mp3 to my project by doing an "Add Files to project" from the menu.
Does it get added to the location above automatically when I run the simulator?

Answer 1

import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var alertSound = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("fileName", ofType: "extension"))
println(alertSound)
AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, error: nil)
AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true, error: nil)
var error:NSError?
audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: alertSound, error: &error)
audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()
audioPlayer.play()
}
}

Answer 2

var audio: AVAudioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
#IBAction func playaudio(sender: AnyObject) //method for playing audio {
var audioPath = NSString(string: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("bus", ofType: "mp3")!)
var error: NSError? = nil
//instantiate the player
audio = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: audioPath as String), error: &error)
audio.prepareToPlay()
audio.play()
}
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
And don't forget to import AVFoundation Framework.

Use This Function to make sound in Swift (You can use this function where you want to make sound.)
First Add SpriteKit Framework.
import SpriteKit
func playEffectSound(filename: String){
runAction(SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("\(filename)", waitForCompletion: false))
}
// use this function to play sound
playEffectSound("Sound File Name With Extension")
// Example :- playEffectSound("BS_SpiderWeb_CollectEgg_SFX.mp3")
