bonjour

I am wondering the possibility of directly using bonjour over bluetooth in iPhone OS 3.0 or later without using GameKit. Can anyone provide any examples ? Ivan Vučica Just announce the service, just like tc. has said below : self.netService = [[[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@"" type:@"_http._tcp" name:@"" port:8080] autorelease]; [self.netService publish]; With iOS5, however, let's-call-it "Bluetooth Bonjour" is disabled by default, so you have to use the C API declared in <dns_sd.h> . DNSServiceRef serviceRef; DNSServiceRegister(&serviceRef, // sdRef kDNSServiceFlagsIncludeP2P, //

I'm working with a Droid / Android 2.0.1 and encountering an issue apparently many people have: I'm unable to discover services using the one pure-Java zeroconf library I know of, jmDNS. (Apple's Bonjour, while it works on Linux and Windows Java, I believe would be harder to port to Android because of reliance on native code.) I can create services, but not discover them. I'm trying to make sense of what's going on. There is an ongoing issue report here; related to multicast and IPv6, but seems to be throwing users of jmDNS, too: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2323 Any idea

I want to use CFNetwork and Bonjour in conjunction to be able to have communications between my iPhone app and a Mac app. The app on the iPhone would have one button. Then on the Mac app, there will be a label. If the button is pushed on the iPhone app, the label changes on the Mac app. Is there example code out there that can do this? If not, can someone lead me in the right direction? Thanks! Brad Larson Bill Dudney created a sample iPhone Bonjour application to demonstrate how to use Bonjour to discover and connect to two iPhones. I ported this example to the Mac to demonstrate how to do

I'm trying to figure out if an iPhone can connect to another non-iPhone device over wireless or Bluetooth and have seen conflicting information. Much of what I've found was before version 3.0 of the SDK came out, when it certainly wasn't possible. Looking at Stack Overflow questions, like Can the iPhone 3.0 SDK provide full access to Bluetooth devices (headsets)? mention you can't connect to an arbitrary device unless if it's part of the "Works for iPhone" device. Do I need hardware that is part of this program? Looking through the Apple documentation, Peer-to-Peer Connectivity , it mentions

Are there any other Java libraries for bonjour/zeroconf apart from JMDNS? Dougnukem I'm also curious to find the best cross-platform DNS-SD (Zeroconf, Bonjour, DNS self discovery) library exists out there. It does sound like Apple's DNS-SD dnssd.jar is the "official" Java library that requires native library support on Windows, Linux, etc, but works out of the box on Mac OSX. There are other pure Java DNS-SD implementations, but it's unclear if any of them offer a library that is as easy to use or fully tested as DNS-SD (some of the projects appear to be abandoned for 2 years).

I've been reading up on how to transfer data between iOS devices over Bluetooth using GameKit. I'm not writing a game, per se, but do have a need to transfer a small amount of binary data between two devices. Between two iOS devices, this is easy enough. However, I was wondering if it is possible to transfer data between an iOS device and an Android device via the same mechanism. Has anyone come across documentation/tutorial that would explain how to do this? Is it even technically possible? Or has Apple put in some sort of restriction that would prevent this? The other option I discovered was
