How to Play and Save AudioFile from filePath iOS Swift

I'm selecting the audio file from the folder and getting the URL in this delegate function

func documentPicker(_ controller: UIDocumentPickerViewController, didPickDocumentAt url: URL) {
    print("url", url)
    self.filePickedBlock?(url)
}

Url looks like this

file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/8012C1BB-43E3-4E0C-9167-B7B5A49824A1/tmp/com.ios.PrankYourFriends-Inbox/AUDIO1.m4a

I am saving this URL as a string in Realm Database and fetching it when I want to play.

Issue I am Facing

When I play this Audio immediately after selecting then it's playing fine. But if I go to any other ViewController and Came back again and press the play button it's not playing the audio.

I am playing Audio like this:

self.avPlayer = AVPlayer.init(url: filePath)
self.avPlayer?.play()

Kindly let me know what I am doing wrong.

Solution

  • Its in tmp folder

    /tmp/com.ios.PrankYourFriends-Inbox/AUDIO1.m4a

    Copy it to say documents/library then use it any time
