Answer 1

You have to keep the player from being disposed of, get it in a property of your view controller

The only real catch is that you must store your player as a property or other variable that won't get destroyed straight away – if you don't, the sound will stop immediately.

source:

var player : AVAudioPlayer?

func playSound(){
        let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "alert", ofType:"mp3")!
        let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)

        do {
            let sound = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url)
            self.player = sound
            sound.numberOfLoops = 1
            sound.prepareToPlay()
            sound.play()
        } catch {
            print("error loading file")
            // couldn't load file :(
        }
}
