convert .caf file to .wav file with progress bar i

Question

I record audio in .caf format and later need to convert it to .wav in order to upload the file as a dropbox. How can I convert the file to wav format in iOS?

• i don't want record audio directly .wav format

• how to Convert .CAF to .WAV file

• while conversion takes much more time i need to implement conversion progress bar

Try this

-(void) convertToWav
