To integrate a confirmation sound into your app, you can consider using the new API introduced for controlling sound playback, specifically for AirPods stamp clicks. This API allows you to customize the sound playback by providing your own sound within the app's bundle. This feature is particularly useful when users need audio feedback for actions like taking a photo without looking at the screen. You can find more details in the session Enhancing your camera experience with capture controls.
Additionally, if you're working with alarms, the AlarmKit API allows you to configure custom sounds for alarms. You can define a custom sound by using the Alert sound struct, specifying the name of the sound file in your app's main bundle or Library Sounds folder. This is covered in the session Wake up to the AlarmKit API.
These sessions provide insights into how you can implement and customize sound feedback in your app.
