Playing a sound in on device with Objective C

I've looked at a lot of answers on here for this question and can't get any to work.

Here is my issue, I'm trying to play a sound on a button press, here is where the file is locatedFile Location

Here is my code

- (void)playSoundWithOfThisFile:(NSString*)fileName {

NSString *soundFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:fileName,
                           [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];
NSURL *soundFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];

AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundFileURL
                                                               error:nil];
player.numberOfLoops = 1;

[player play];

}

When I run through the code the values are as follows

fileName = Mummy.mp3

`soundFilePath = Mummy.mp3`  (I've had it Sounds/Mummy.mp3 and this doesn't work either)

soundFileURL = Mummy.mp3 -- file:///

player = nil

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The error if I catch it is just a generic error with no info

Try to use the below code

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

Don't forget to import

#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>

 NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"how_to_play" ofType: @"mp3"];
            if(!self.theAudio)
            {
                self.theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
                self.theAudio.delegate = self;
                [self.theAudio play];
            }

put in viewcontroller.h

 < AVAudioPlayerDelegate>

@property(nonatomic,strong) AVAudioPlayer *theAudio;

Try this.

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Mummy" ofType:@"mp3"];  

NSURL *soundFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundFileURL
                                                               error:nil];
player.numberOfLoops = 1;
[player play];
