Cleanest way of capturing volume up/down button press on iOS 8

by

For Swift you can use next code in your viewController class:

let volumeView = MPVolumeView(frame: CGRectMake(-CGFloat.max, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0))
self.view.addSubview(volumeView)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(volumeChanged(_:)), name: "AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification", object: nil)

Then add this function

func volumeChanged(notification: NSNotification) {

     if let userInfo = notification.userInfo {
        if let volumeChangeType = userInfo["AVSystemController_AudioVolumeChangeReasonNotificationParameter"] as? String {
            if volumeChangeType == "ExplicitVolumeChange" {
                // your code goes here
            }
        }
    }
}

This code detect the explicit volume change action by the user, as if you didn’t check of the explicit action, this function will be automatically called periodically.

This code don’t prevent the system volume change
