Bad Access code 1 with simple NSObject - ios

Question

I am creating a custom object, it is currently very simple. Below you will find my .h for the object.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#interface LAZMessagePlayer : NSObject <AVAudioPlayerDelegate>
- (void)play:(UIView*)viewThatWasPressed;
- (void)pause;
- (BOOL)isPlaying;
#end
and the corresponding .m for the object
#import "LAZMessagePlayer.h"
#implementation LAZMessagePlayer {
AVAudioPlayer* myPlayer;
UIView* currentViewPlaying;
}
-(id)init{
NSLog(#"init audio");
NSURL* src = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/Users/Developer/Downloads/317.mp3", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]]];
NSError* error;
myPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:src error:&error];
}
-(void)play:(UIView*)viewThatWasPressed {
NSLog(#"play");
currentViewPlaying = viewThatWasPressed;
currentViewPlaying.hidden = YES;
[myPlayer play];
}
-(void)pause {
NSLog(#"pause");
currentViewPlaying.hidden = NO;
[myPlayer pause];
}
-(void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:
(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag
{
NSLog(#"done");
currentViewPlaying.hidden = NO;
}
-(BOOL)isPlaying {
return myPlayer.playing;
}
#end
Inside of my ViewController i have declared a private variable at the top of my Controller.m like so,
#import "LAZMessagesViewController.h"
#interface LAZMessagesViewController () {
LAZMessagePlayer* myPlayer;
}
Inside my viewDidLoad I alloc/init myPlayer.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationBarExtensionViewDelegate = self;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
myPlayer = [[LAZMessagePlayer alloc] init];
}
Later inside my Tap handler I receive a BAD ACCESS code = 1 the first time I try to reference myPlayer, here is the first line that breaks
if([myPlayer isPlaying])...
I am familiar with c++ memory management, but new to Objective-C entirely. Can somebody please point out my glaringly obvious miss.
Thank you.

Solved it myself. Inside of Object.h I needed:
self = [super init];
.

.
return self;
