IOS Audio and Video (Audio & Video)

Introduction

Audio and video are quite common in the latest devices.

Adding iosAVFoundation.framework and MediaPlayer.framework to your Xcode project allows IOS to support audio and video (Audio & Video).

Example Steps

1. Create a simple View based application.
2. Select the project file, choose the target, and then add AVFoundation.framework and MediaPlayer.framework.
3. Add two buttons in ViewController.xib and create actions to play audio and video respectively.

4. Update ViewController.h as follows:

   #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
   #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
   #import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
   
   @interface ViewController : UIViewController
   {
       AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
       MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer;
   
   }
   -(IBAction)playAudio:(id)sender;
   -(IBAction)playVideo:(id)sender;
   @end
   

5. Update ViewController.m as follows:

   #import "ViewController.h"
   
   @interface ViewController ()
   
   @end
   
   @implementation ViewController
   
   - (void)viewDidLoad
   {
       [super viewDidLoad];
   }
   
   - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
   {
      [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
      // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
   }
   -(IBAction)playAudio:(id)sender{
      NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
      pathForResource:@"audioTest" ofType:@"mp3"];
      audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:
      [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
      [audioPlayer play];
   }
   -(IBAction)playVideo:(id)sender{
      NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:
      @"videoTest" ofType:@"mov"];
      moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController 
      alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
      [self presentModalViewController:moviePlayer animated:NO];
   }
   @end
   

Notes

You need to add audio and video files to ensure the expected output.
