URLWithString returns nil for resource path - iphone

Question

Having a problem getting the URL for a resource for some reason: This code is in viewDidLoad, and it's worked in other applications, but not here for some reason: ``` NSString* audioString = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"sound" ofType:@"wav"]; NSLog(@"AUDIO STRING: %@" , audioString); NSURL* audioURL = [NSURL URLWithString:audioString]; NSLog(@"AUDIO URL: %d" , audioURL); NSError* playererror; audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&playererror]; [audioPlayer prepareToPlay]; NSLog(@"Error %@", playererror); ``` LOG OUTPUT: AUDIO STRING: /var/mobile/Applications/D9FA0569-45FF-4287-8448-7EA21E92EADC/SoundApp.app/sound.wav AUDIO URL: 0 Error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-50 "Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)"

Accepted Answer

Your string has no protocol, so it's an invalid url. Try this...

```
NSString* expandedPath = [audioString stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSURL* audioUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:expandedPath];
```
