A fix for AudioSessionInitialize Deprecated?

Question

Apple did not post any alternative code for this on the Apple Developer site.

Answer 1

You should use AVAudioSession.

To replace the functionality provided by deprecated AudioSessionInitialize (e.g. if you need to specify AudioSessionInterruptionListener callback) you can subscribe for AVAudioSessionInterruptionNotification notification:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(audioSessionDidChangeInterruptionType:)
        name:AVAudioSessionInterruptionNotification object:[AVAudioSession sharedInstance]];

And implement your audioSessionDidChangeInterruptionType: handler like:

- (void)audioSessionDidChangeInterruptionType:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    AVAudioSessionInterruptionType interruptionType = [[[notification userInfo]
        objectForKey:AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeKey] unsignedIntegerValue];
    if (AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeBegan == interruptionType)
    {
    }
    else if (AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeEnded == interruptionType)
    {
    }
}
