How to extract URL from NSDataAsset?

Question

I have some MP3 files in my .xcassets folder. I can play them directly using AVKit's AVAudioPlayer(data: NSDataAsset(name: "foo")!.data).play(). But, I want to extract the Metadata of the song using AVPlayerItem. But AVPlayerItem's Initializer wants an URL as parameter.

How to extract the URL of an NSDataAsset ? I am using UIKit Framework btw.

```let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "fileName", ofType: "mp3")! let fileUrl = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)``` Did u try this. — udi, Jul 15 '22 at 07:57
`Bundle.main.path(forResource:, ofType:)` is returning `nil` :-( — Kris2k, Jul 15 '22 at 08:53
I tried with `Bundle.main.url(forResource:, ofType:)`. It is also returning `nil` — Kris2k, Jul 15 '22 at 08:56
Your solution works when I have the file in the project folder. But, I am having the file in .xcassets folder — Kris2k, Jul 15 '22 at 09:54

I have some problem when wav or mp3 storage in assets.xcassets. I fixed this issue by put all audio from assets.xcassets into project folder. But I don't know what happen in it when use assets.xcassets.

Yes I too had the same problem. Since xcassets problem could not be solved. I put those mp3 files in project folder itself. Only then, I could get the URL of those mp3 files. – Kris2k Mar 14 '23 at 09:09
