AVAudioSession setCategory Swift 4.2 iOS 12 - Play Sound on Silent

Question

To play sound even on Silent mode I use to use below method. But how it\'s not working.

// Works on Swift 3  
do {
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().se         


        

Answer 1

Her der Töne's comment shows you the new syntax, but you also need to activate the audio session after setCategory:

do {
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .default)
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
} catch {
    print(error)
}

Answer 2

Paste this into your viewDidLoad()

do {
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback, mode: AVAudioSession.Mode.default, options: [])
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
}
catch {
    print(error)
}

Answer 3

//Swift 4.2
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, 
    mode: AVAudioSessionModeDefault)
} else {
 //Fallback on earlier versions
}
