For those of you that aren’t familiar, the default sound (low-res sample) is something like a trumpet from the Kentucky Derby. It’s odd, a bit annoying and almost every other game center game uses it.

Apparently up until iOS 5.0 you had no choice but to live with it. Thank You Apple for now allowing us to change the default sound! Not so much thanks for burying the instructions deep, deep in the documentation. I’m yet to actually find it in the docs and Google search returns nil.

I must give credit where credit is due – Jason Lust pointed this out over in the developer forums: Add a sound to the resources of your app bundle with the file name “GKInvite” of format “caf”, “aif”, or “wav”.

Yeah, that’s it. Add GKInvite.caf to your project. No code changes. It just works.

iGat is NOT a “copy cat” app. It was submitted to Apple on February 4th and held in limbo for 6 weeks.

(Some reviewers think I took these sounds from the game Counter Strike. I did NOT steal any sounds from any game. If you think otherwise please contact me through my support email and I will personally show you where I BOUGHT these Original sounds.)
