Custom audio control for ios apps

We are creating an app using Swift on IOS that needs to use custom audio controls: a play button, a stop button, a current time/pos indicator, the duration and perhaps even a seek bar to play 1 audio file that is built into the application. My friend has worked hard on this project but so far was unable to find a solution. Is it possible using mediaplayer or is another api easier, possibly something similar to exoplayer for android apps.

Thanks.

In my opinion I would say that using AVFoundation would probably be easiest since it is built into swift you just have to do import AVFoundation and you would probably want to create an AVAudioPlayer to listen to the music. Also the API is pretty simple. If you need any help getting started I found this article on Mashable that shows how to play audio and how to control it with a custom play and pause button. https://medium.com/yay-its-erica/creating-a-music-player-app-in-swift-3-53809471f663. Also I found on Apple's documentation how to get the current time of the audio playing https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudioplayer/1387297-currenttime. I hope I was able to help and if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask!
