Introduction

In this article I will create a single view application. First in this app we add the AVFoundation framework to implement MP3Player. To take an audio file from a plist, we add the plist from a resource and link to it the project by providing the path in code. Here we use two views, one is suitable for a view controller for showing an audio file on a table view and another is a uiview controller to design a UI of the media player. Here we use a play button to listen to the audio file.

To better understand, use these instructions.

Step 1

Open Xcode by double-clicking on it.

Step 2

Create a New XCode Project by clicking on it.

Step 3

Now Select Single View Application and click on "Next".

Step 4

Now provide your Product Name and Company Identifier.

Step 5

Select the location where you want to save your project and click on "Create".

Step 6

First we add the MediaPlayer framework that is required.

To import this framework we use the following.

Step 7

Click on the project and select "Build Phase".

Step 8

Click on the "+" icon to add a framework and click on the "Add" button.

Step 9

Now we add a .plist (Property list) file from the Resources.

Step 10

Now we write the code.

// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.

}

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application

{

// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.

}

{

// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
