Question

Im integrating local notification into my app.

It is working fine.

But client want to use a different sound for local notification.

I drag and drop the file into the supporting files of xcode

Can anyone please help me how to do this.

code
AlocalNotifas.soundName = @"cling.wav";
    localNotifas.soundName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"cling" ofType:@".wav"];
   //  [localNotifas setSoundName:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"cling" ofType:@"wav"]];
   //  [localNotifas setSoundName:UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName];

Can you experts please show me where im going wrong.

Answer 1

Remember that your notification sounds may not be longer than 30 seconds – if the file supplied is longer, nothing will sound.

Also, check the sound in some external player first, and best convert it to .caf format.

To convert a file to .caf, open up terminal, go to where you have your sound stored and type in:

afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@44100 -c 1 yourfile.wav yourfile.caf

Then just set it like:

yourNotification.soundName = @"yoursound_name.caf";
