List of available sounds for iOS push notifications

Question

I'm trying to change the sound for my push notifications, but I don't know what the names are to use. I want to use the "electronic" sound, but what do I put in the sound field in my payload? Is there a list of available sounds?

Solution

As stated in the docs, you can specify "default" as the value for your "sound" key in the payload to play the default sound, or the name of a sound file in your app bundle to play that sound. You'll need to prepare the sound to make sure it's in a compatible format.

I was under the impression I could use one of the sounds already on the iPhone, is this not the case?

I've only ever seen default as a built-in sound. I tried googling around and couldn't find anything else.

Thanks, I guess that's why I couldn't find any either. I thought I had just missed them somehow.

I was not able to reproduce this result. As far as I could tell, specifying anything in the sound key — default, chime, or asdf, for example — will all play the system sound, unless the name of the sound is found in the main application bundle.
