I am making a game with sound effects and am using open al and using a .wav format audio file, but this does no play any sound.Does open al on iOS only allow caff files to be run and if so how can i convert wav audio files to caff?

If you are using OpenAL on iOS without any wrappers, it will only accept caff and wav as input. Also, you can check out this thread: Converting audio to CAF format for playback on iPhone using OpenAL

But be careful, since OpenAl on iOs will not take ima4 compressed files directly as input!

OpenAL like many audio rendering API's like Web Audio API require PCM audio as its only input format --- any WAV,mp3 will need to be parsed upstream and fed into as audio buffer(s) of PCM audio
