Question

I have implemented Push Notification and have been using Default sounds every time. I know that there are many other sounds as well that I can use but I don’t know the names of all sounds that Apple support for Push Notification. Can someone please help me to get the list?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use any sound you desire (and you have the rights to) – but you need to correctly encode the sound to work on the device (caf, aiff, wav). You must embed the sound as a resource within your project bundle, you cannot use “Any sound” on the device. Once embedded, you can reference it by filename in your payload for the sound.

Caveat – your sound must be under 30 seconds long and there is no mechanism to loop the sound)
