Trying to play sound with animation but keep getting "Thread 1 Signal SIGABRT" error in Xcode

Question

My code used to work perfectly when I used to just have an animation. However, now I tried to add sound to the animation also, I've implemented the sound as well as I can however now every time the app runs it shuts down and gives me the SIGABRT error, here is my code:

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()
@end

@implementation ViewController {

}
- (IBAction)Button {

    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(SoundID);
}    

-(IBAction)startanimating{
    animatedimage.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                                     [UIImage imageNamed:@"ALambo1.jpg"],
                                     [UIImage imageNamed:@"ALambo2.jpg"],
                                     [UIImage imageNamed:@"ALambo3.jpg"],
                                     [UIImage imageNamed:@"ALambo4.jpg"],
                                     [UIImage imageNamed:@"ALambo5.jpg"],

    animatedimage.animationDuration = 1.2;
    [animatedimage startAnimating];        
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSURL *buttonURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"SoundRev" ofType:@"m4a"]];        
    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)buttonURL, &SoundID);
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

@end

Here is the (.h) also:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController
{        
    IBOutlet UIImageView *animatedimage;        
    SystemSoundID SoundID;        
}

-(IBAction)startanimating;

@end

try adding an [exception breakpoint](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17802662/exception-breakpoint-in-xcode) to your project to diagnose the error. — GoGreen, Feb 19 '14 at 08:59
I added one and it highlights this line NSURL *buttonURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"SoundRev" ofType:@"m4a"]]; — rocky90, Feb 19 '14 at 17:28
Just fixed the error. Something was up with the sound file. changed it to mp3 and it started to work perfectly. I found out because of the exception breakpoint so thanks everybody! :D — rocky90, Feb 19 '14 at 17:34

I haven't used AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID in quite a while. I suggest switching your code to use AVAudioPlayer instead. That API is both more flexible and easier to use.
