Custom iOS push notification sound

apple-push-notifications, ios, push-notification

Solution

According to the push notification guide:

You can package the audio data in an aiff, wav, or caf file. Then, in Xcode, add the sound file to your project as a nonlocalized resource of the application bundle.

It doesn't say anything about MP3s. I've used aif files which worked. I'd stick to what Apple specifies.

Problem

I have been facing an issue. I implemented push notification in iOS with custom sound. Its a MP3 file. It plays well when I receive a push notification in iOS 5, but in iOS4, it doesn't play any sound. Can you help me with this? The code is like this ``` { "aps": { "badge": 10, "alert": "Hello", "sound": "sound.mp3" } } ``` Nithin
