Xcode stops on prepareToPlay

Question

Using AVAudioPlayer to add sound to a working application, it stops / hangs on prepareToPlay. Note it also stops / hangs on play. Hitting \"Continue program execution\" severa

Answer 1

The problem was I normally develop with a breakpoint set to "All Exceptions", and the actual exception thrown was __cxa_throw. Which apparently turns out to be in C++ libraries that are used to implement AVAudioPlayer. By changing the breakpoint to "All Objective-C Exceptions" the program ran fine. (This can be done by editing the breakpoint and changing the Exception field to Objective-C.
