I want to play a sound when user press on the button on WKInterfaceController. Here is how I did in my project: - Add a AVFoundation frame work to my watchkit app. - Import AVFoundation on my WKInterfaceController - Create 2 variable for audio session and player:

var audioSession:AVAudioSession!
var player:AVAudioPlayer!

- make 2 function for configure an audio session and configure Audio Player:

func configureAudioSession() {
        self.audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()

        var categoryError:NSError?
        var activeError:NSError?
//        set category cho audio session
        self.audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, error: &categoryError)

        println("error: \(categoryError)")
//        set active cho audio session

        var success = self.audioSession.setActive(true, error: &activeError)

        if !success {
            println("error making audio session active :\(activeError)")
        }
    }


func configureAudioPlayer() {
//       Lay song path
        var songPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Open Source - Sending My Signal", ofType: "mp3")
//        Chuyen thanh URL
        println("songpath: \(songPath)")
        var songURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: songPath!)

        println("songURL: \(songURL)")

//
        var songError:NSError?

//        Tao audioplayer

        self.player = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: songURL!, error: &songError)

        println("songerror:\(songError)")

        self.player.numberOfLoops = 0

    }
  • After that i finish my button press function like this:

@IBAction func startGameButtonPressed() {

self.configureAudioSession()
self.configureAudioPlayer()
self.player.play()

}

Every thing's working fine , I can saw the southPath although my button is working but I cannot hear the sound. I still use these steps on IOS app and it's working fine. May be we can't play a sound effect on Watchkit at this time? If we can, please help me to do that.

No. It is not possible to play sounds with WatchKit on the Apple Watch.

It is not currently possible to play sounds using the latest build of WatchKit.

I would suggest submitting a feature request.

YEs its possible to play a sound file in apple watch application.You need to add the sound file separately in apple watch application extension and the call the AVAudioPlayer to play the sound file.

e.g:

let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("coinFlip", ofType:"caf")
let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path!)
player = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: fileURL, error: nil)
player.prepareToPlay()
player.delegate = self
player.play()
