I am currently working on an app which requires me to download audio files from web server. The URL would be something like this: http://universalstreamsolution.com/Samonas/test1.m4a .

Any suggestions on what I should do to be able to reach my goal?

  • Your title is a bit misleading. I'm not sure what this has to do with HTML at all. So I have amended your tag and title. – Popeye Jun 09 '14 at 10:52

if you need the data in the format of data, you can use the data class to download the data with the method to download the data from an URL:

[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:URL]

also consider the answer there for playing an NSData as audio: How to play an audio if we pass NSData?

  • well, there was really much more to explain. why everything must be a school lesson in developing? sometime, an answer is just an answer – Lorenzo Boccaccia Jun 09 '14 at 10:49

[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:URL] works but it causes UI block so that user can not interact with device till the file is completely downloaded. Such a bad user experience. I suggest using NSURLSession with this great tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/51127/nsurlsession-tutorial
