How to write a small (socket) server in iOS

Question

I have seen this in some official iOS applications, so I know that this is possible and allowed.

I want to write a small socket server in iOS so that some other application that I will write for the desktop machine can connect and read the data.

Has anyone done something similar and can help me with some tips or know a good starting point?

Answer 1

You should read the Stream Programming Guide , WiTap and many other programming guides, samples and documentation in the Apple Doc, you will find everything there (including detailed explanations and code)

If you just go to the iOS SDK documentation homepage and go to the “Network and Internet Themes” section, you also have many resources, including Network and the “Internet Starting Point” and much more.
