AVAudioPlayer not playing audio in Swift

Question

I have this code in a very simple, single view Swift application in my ViewController:

var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()

@IBAction func playMyF         


        

Answer 1

Based on @matt answer but little bit detailed 'cause original answer did not completely satisfied me.

import AVFoundation

class YourController: UIViewController {

  private var player : AVAudioPlayer?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()

     prepareAudioPlayer()
  }

  @IBAction func playAudio() {

      player?.play()
  }
}

extension YourController: AVAudioPlayerDelegate {}

private extension YourController {

    func prepareAudioPlayer() {

        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "you-audio", ofType:"mp3") else {
            return
        }
        let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
        do {
            player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: fileURL)
        } catch let ex {
            print(ex.localizedDescription)
        }
        player?.prepareToPlay()
        player?.delegate = self
    }
}
