A simple Swift class for playing audio files in iOS, macOS, and tvOS applications.
AudioPlayer is a Swift library that provides a simple, intuitive interface for playing audio files in iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps. It wraps AVFoundation functionality to handle audio playback, volume control, fading effects, and looping with minimal code. The library solves the problem of dealing with low-level audio APIs by offering a straightforward class-based approach.
iOS, macOS, and tvOS developers who need to integrate audio playback into their applications without the complexity of AVFoundation. It's ideal for Swift developers building games, media apps, or any application requiring simple sound effects or background music.
Developers choose AudioPlayer for its simplicity and clean Swift API that reduces boilerplate code. Unlike directly using AVFoundation, it provides built-in fade effects, easy looping, and notification handling in a lightweight package with support for multiple dependency managers.

Offers straightforward initialization from file names, paths, or URLs with clean methods like play() and stop(), reducing AVFoundation boilerplate as shown in the usage example.
Provides fade-in, fade-out, and custom fade-to-volume transitions with specified durations, a feature highlighted in the Fade Effects section that simplifies audio animations.
Compatible with iOS, macOS, and tvOS, indicated by platform badges and the description, making it versatile for Apple ecosystem projects.
Supports multiple dependency managers including CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager for easy installation, as detailed in the README.
Lacks advanced capabilities such as audio mixing, equalization, or 3D audio support, which are not mentioned in the README, making it unsuitable for complex audio applications.
Does not handle iOS audio session configuration or interruptions, leaving developers to manage these complexities manually with AVFoundation, adding overhead.
The README is brief with limited examples; advanced usage requires examining the samples project, which may not cover all edge cases or real-world scenarios.
