Can we use the Core Audio SDK for developing sound effect units for iOS?

Question

There's a so called "Core Audio SDK" which Apple says is for "Mac OS X development". Since there are similarities between Core Audio on the Mac and Core Audio on iOS maybe it's possible to use that SDK for iOS development as well?

Answer 1

If you are referring to the CA Public sources (DEV_TOOLS_PATH/Extras/CoreAudio/) that ship with Xcode: You can use it for some of the things it provides.

Unfortunately, you can't just install and load AudioUnit Effects on iOS like you do on OS X -- if that's what you are getting at…

Answer 2

You don't need an SDK to use CoreAudio, just add the CoreAudio framework to your iOS project in xcode
