README
Stargate
[](Stargate.gif)
A communication channel from your Mac to your watch.
Providing a convenient wrapper around MMWormhole and PeerKit,
Stargate leverages Multipeer Connectivity and App Groups to communicate between an
OS X application and ο£Ώα΄‘α΄α΄α΄Κ via your iPhone. The communication is bi-directional and
lets you send any object that complies with NSCoding
.
Usage
Simply install it via CocoaPods:
use_frameworks!
pod 'Stargate'
Note: make sure you use version 0.37 or newer. Stargate is written in Swift 1.2, so it requires Xcode 6.3 or newer as well.
On the Mac
Send and receive messages via Multipeer Connectivity:
let stargate = Earth(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")
stargate.listenForMessage(identifier: "stargate2") { (object) -> Void in
println("Received message on Mac: \(object)")
}
stargate.passMessage("YOLO", identifier: "stargate")
On the phone
Bridge messages between Multipeer and Darwin notifications:
let stargate = Abydos(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")
stargate.tunnel()
stargate.tunnelReplies(identifier: "stargate2")
On the watch
Send and receive messages via Darwin notifications:
let stargate = Atlantis(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")
stargate.passMessage("YOLO", identifier:"stargate2")
stargate.listenForMessage(identifier:"stargate") { (object) -> Void in
println("Received message on watch: \(object)")
}
stargate.stopListeningForMessage(identifier:"stargate")
Look at the [example project](Example/) for guidance on how to set up one project for all three platforms. When creating the targets, make sure you don't accidentially select the OS X target as host for the WatchKit extension.
