Are there any differences between AVFoundation and AudioToolbox in performance in swift?

I want to use these Framework to play sound in my iOS app. Can you advise the pros and cons of AVFoundation or AudioToolbox?

Solution

  • You would have to read about the frameworks and see which one is suitable for your use-case.

    You should start with this: https://developer.apple.com/audio/

    These frameworks are not substitute to each other. They are built for covering various levels of interaction.

    For example, if your use-case is covered by using AVPlayer or Media Player then you do not need to use other framework. In case, you need something more out of the system u may consider other lower level frameworks.
