The AVAudioPlayer class is the framework we will be using to play and control our audio streams in iOS, so let's begin by adding a new folder called Sound to the iOS project. We then want to create a new file called SoundHandler.cs that will inherit the ISoundHandler interface:

public class SoundHandler : ISoundHandler

Now let's create a private AVAudioPlayer object and add our public IsPlaying, which will hold the playing status of the audio player:

private AVAudioPlayer _audioPlayer; 
 
public bool IsPlaying { get; set; }
