Custom sound remote push notification iOS not working

Question

I'm trying to change the sound of the remote message

I've added the file into my project, see picture 1

I've also added everything into my AppDelegate. In the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions I've added:

 if (UIDevice.currentDevice().systemVersion as NSString).floatValue >= 8.0 {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Sound | .Alert | .Badge, categories: nil))
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications()
    } else {
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotificationTypes(.Badge | .Sound | .Alert)
    }

    //Clear badge
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().cancelAllLocalNotifications()

The other methods I've implemented are:

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
    let deviceTokenString = deviceToken.hexString
    println(deviceTokenString)
    let task = service.writeForNotifications(token: deviceTokenString, completionHandler: {
    })
    task.resume()
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: NSError) {
    println("Failed to get token: \(error)")
}

The Json I received from the service is:

{"aps":{"alert":"The push message!", "sound":"ice.caf"}}

I'm not sure whitch step I've forgotten to change the sound of the notification? When I receive a notification it always plays the default sound.

Answer 1

Are you sure the file is added to the bundle? You can check this by looking at the Copy Bundle Resources in Build Phases .

See this image for clarification:

Answer 2

you need to check the following thing to push notification work

• The sound file should not be greater then 30 seconds
• The sound file should be valid format, ( .aiff, .wav or .caf file ) some time extension of the file show it is right but it is not, so you need to convert it
• The sound file should be at the root folder of your project not in sub folder
• The pay load (push json data) should be in correct format (in your case it look good)
• The push notification should be on in the Capabilities of you project setting (in your case it looks on because you are getting notification with default sound)
• Please make sure that your sound file is listed in the Copy Bundle Resources in the Build Phases
