Is AudioServicesPlaySystemSound allowed to use in App Store apps?

The AudioServicesPlaySystemSound function comes under System Sound Services. Is this service of AudioToolbox allowed to use?

AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1012);

Or can it be rejected by Apple when submitting an app using it to the App Store?

Yes, it is allowed to use. It's actually documented in Apple Developer Documentation.

There are some limitations on what you can play with this method though:

Sound files that you play using this function must be:

  • No longer than 30 seconds in duration
  • In linear PCM or IMA4 (IMA/ADPCM) format
  • Packaged in a .caf, .aif, or .wav file

If you want level/timing control and the ability of playing multiple sounds at a time, use AVAudioPlayer instead, it's the generally recommended method.
