Play a short sound in iOS

Question

I guess I could use AVAudioPlayer to play a sound, however, what I need is to just play a short sound and I don\'t need any loops or fine-grained control over t

I like more control over my sounds so I'm using AVFoundation.

import AVFoundation

class TodayViewController: UIViewController {

  var clink: AVAudioPlayer?
  var shatter: AVAudioPlayer?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // initialize the sound
    shatter = setupAudioPlayer(withFile: "shatter", type: "wav")
    clink = setupAudioPlayer(withFile: "clink", type: "wav")
  }

  func setupAudioPlayer(withFile file: String, type: String) -> AVAudioPlayer? {
    let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: file, ofType: type)
    let url = NSURL.fileURL(withPath: path!)
    return try? AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url)
  }

  func onClick() {
    clink?.play()
  }
}

Make sure you sound file is added to your project and you import AVFoundation.
