AVAudioPlayer iOS no sound - objective-c

Question

Seems to be similar questions asked but none of the solutions seem to work for me. Cant for the life of me understand why my code doesnt work so here it is.
I dont get any errors but also get no sound.
#interface MainApp ()
#property (strong, nonatomic) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
-(void)playSoundFX:(NSString*) soundFile;
#end
#implementation MainApp
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Play sound
[self playSoundFX:#“sound.mp3"];
}
// Play sound
- (void)playSoundFX:(NSString*)soundFile {
// Setting up path to file url
NSBundle* bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString* bundleDirectory = (NSString*)[bundle bundlePath];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[bundleDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:soundFile]];
// Make an audioPlayer object and play file
NSError *error;
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
[audioPlayer setVolume:100.0f];
if (audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"%#", [error description]);
else
[audioPlayer play];
}
#end
*********vvvvvvvvv Amended Code that works vvvvvvvvv**********
#interface MainApp ()
#property (strong, nonatomic) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
-(void)playSoundFX:(NSString*) soundFile;
#end
#implementation MainApp
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[self playSoundFX:#“sound.mp3"];
}
// Play sound
- (void)playSoundFX:(NSString*)soundFile {
// Setting up path to file url
NSBundle* bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString* bundleDirectory = (NSString*)[bundle bundlePath];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[bundleDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:soundFile]];
// Make an audioPlayer object and play file
NSError *error;
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
[self.audioPlayer setVolume:100.0f];
if (self.audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"%#", [error description]);
else
[self.audioPlayer play];
}
#end

You got to segregate the functionalities..
Loading audio file in viewDidLoad and play it on play action, some thing like this
#import "ViewController.h"
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#interface ViewController ()
{
AVAudioPlayer *_audioPlayer;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Construct URL to sound file
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/sound.mp3", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];
NSURL *soundUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
// Create audio player object and initialize with URL to sound
_audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundUrl error:nil];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (IBAction)playSoundTapped:(id)sender
{
// When button is tapped, play sound
[_audioPlayer play];
}
