在IOS应用程序中播放SoundCloud文件

Question

Using the quick start guide provided would like to play a SoundCloud track within IOS app.

The code provided to play the stream is here:

SCAccount *account = [SCSoundCloud account];

    [SCRequest performMethod:SCRequestMethodGET
                  onResource:[NSURL URLWithString:audioFile]
             usingParameters:nil
                 withAccount:account
      sendingProgressHandler:nil
             responseHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
                 NSError *playerError;
                 audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data error:&playerError];
                 audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;

                 [audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
                 [audioPlayer play];
             }];

Problem: is there a method to play a SoundCloud file without logging in to your SoundCloud account first? We hope all users consider using SoundCloud - however for usability if would be useful if new users could listen to a number of tracks before.

Answer 1

For public access with the IOS Soundcloud SDK you will need to add the Soundcloud clientID as a parameter to your request string:

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@?client_id=%@", publicTrackUrlString, yourSCClientID];
[SCRequest performMethod: SCRequestMethodGET 
              onResource: [NSURL URLWithString:urlString]
         usingParameters: nil 
             withAccount: nil
  sendingProgressHandler: nil 
         responseHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error){
                      // 
         }];

Then it will work for public tracks when the withAccount: parameter is nil.

More elegantly, you can as well pack the "client_id" in a dictionary and use it with usingParameters:

NSDictionary *params = @{@"client_id": yourSCClientID} ;
