I would like to play a sound using Swift.
My code worked in Swift 1.0 but now it doesn't work anymore in Swift 2 or newer.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let url:NSURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("soundName", withExtension: "mp3")!
do {
player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: url, fileTypeHint: nil)
} catch _{
return
}
bgMusic.numberOfLoops = 1
bgMusic.prepareToPlay()
if (Data.backgroundMenuPlayed == 0){
player.play()
Data.backgroundMenuPlayed = 1

Most preferably you might want to use AVFoundation. It provides all the essentials for working with audiovisual media.
Update: Compatible with Swift 2, Swift 3 and Swift 4 as suggested by some of you in the comments.
Swift 2.3
import AVFoundation
var player: AVAudioPlayer?
func playSound() {
let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("soundName", withExtension: "mp3")!
do {
player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: url)
guard let player = player else { return }
player.prepareToPlay()
player.play()
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.description)
}
}
