In IOS audio is not getting Played

[AnkitKh095]

I am currently working on implementing audio playback functionality in a Flutter app using the audioplayers plugin. However, I'm encountering an issue where the audio is not playing at all. Here's a simplified version of my code:

dart
Copy code
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:audioplayers/audioplayers.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@OverRide
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Audio Player Example'),
),
body: AudioPlayerWidget(),
),
);
}
}

class AudioPlayerWidget extends StatefulWidget {
@OverRide
_AudioPlayerWidgetState createState() => _AudioPlayerWidgetState();
}

class _AudioPlayerWidgetState extends State {
AudioPlayer player = AudioPlayer();

@OverRide
void initState() {
super.initState();
initPlayer();
}

Future initPlayer() async {
try {
print("Trying to play audio...");
await player.play(AssetSource('sounds/sample.wav'));
print("Audio playback started");

  final String result = await platform.invokeMethod('startRecording');
  print("Recording started: $result");

  player.onPlayerStateChanged.listen((event) {
    if (event == PlayerState.playing) {
      print("Player state: playing");
    } else if (event == PlayerState.stopped || event == PlayerState.completed) {
      print("Player state: stopped or completed");
    }
  });

  player.onPlayerError.listen((error) {
    print("Audio player error: $error");
  });
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
  print("Error starting recording: ${e.message}");
}

}

@OverRide
void dispose() {
player.dispose();
super.dispose();
}

@OverRide
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
child: Center(
child: Text('Playing audio...'),
),
);
}
}

This is the code that I am using but it is audio is not getting Played.

//Try this
Future initPlayer() async {
try {
print("Trying to play audio...");
await player.setAudioContext(const AudioContext(
iOS: AudioContextIOS(
category: AVAudioSessionCategory.ambient,
options: [
AVAudioSessionOptions.mixWithOthers,
],
),
));
player.play(AssetSource('sounds/sample.wav'));
print("Audio playback started");

  final String result = await platform.invokeMethod('startRecording');
  print("Recording started: $result");

  player.onPlayerStateChanged.listen((event) {
    if (event == PlayerState.playing) {
      print("Player state: playing");
    } else if (event == PlayerState.stopped || event == PlayerState.completed) {
      print("Player state: stopped or completed");
    }
  });

  player.onPlayerError.listen((error) {
    print("Audio player error: $error");
  }
  );
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
  print("Error starting recording: ${e.message}");
}

}

Using await while playing the audio is the issue. @haarts @cosmok @ktakayama Should it be the void instead of Future<void> in play method?

use unawaited(audioplayer.play('''))
