iOS 8 Custom Keyboard that play sounds

I'm trying to build a custom keyboard for iOS 8 that a custom play sound when a key is pressed. I'm using a AVAudioPlayer and small mp3-files.

This works fine in the simulator, but on a real device I don't get any sounds.

RequestOpenAccess is enabled.

Please not that I'm not trying to play the default keyboard click sound, but a custom sound. Most existing questions seems to be about the default system sound.

edit: I've also tried using .caf and .aiff files and loading and playing them with SystemSoundID.

I'm positive this is not your case but it often happens that the sound on the device is turned off. I made the mistake searching for an hour why sound didn't work. If it could only be that, it would be a quick fix ;)

This snippet plays custom sound in my keyboard project.

NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"your_custom_sound" 
                                                      ofType:@"mp3"];
SystemSoundID soundID;
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath: soundPath], &soundID);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (soundID);
