Choose custom sound for local notifications

Question

How do you change the sound that plays for local notifications? I use the code below to play the default sound:

notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultS         


        

Answer 1

For Swift 3 use UNNotificationSound.init for the notif object in notification scheduling function.

Here's a Swift 3 example:

func scheduleNotifications(inSeconds: TimeInterval, completion: @escaping (_ Success: Bool) ->()){
        ...
        notif.sound = UNNotificationSound.init(named: "CustomSound.mp3") 
        ...
}

Final note, according to Apple: "The sound file must be contained in the app’s bundle or in the Library/Sounds folder of the app's data container. If files exist in both locations then the file in ~/Library/Sounds will be preferred."
