Socket programming in iPhone

Hi,

I wanna implement a chat application. When i gone through few threads and tutorials, i think i need to use socket programming for this purpose. Can anyone provide some basic idea for socket programming in iphone.And what all things i have to refer for famliarizing with socket programming.

Thanks and regards, Sreelash

+1 A:

I think the AsyncSocket might make things easier for you, would save you from having to use the Core Foundation stuff directly.

What about the CFNetwork framework. Whats this AsyncSocket. Can you just brief about it?

Sure. I haven't used AsynSocket myself, but basically, it's a wrapper for all of that CF (Core Foundation) networking stuff. This allows you to work in Objective-C as with the rest of your code, instead of mixing your code with the pretty confusing C language Core Foundation stuff directly. In other words, the functionality of what you would normally use directly (CFNetwork, CFSocket, etc.) is wrapped in Objective-C.

Hi Blaenk,I have found a documentation for AsyncSocket(http://homepage.mac.com/d_j_v/.Public/AsyncSocket4.3/AsyncSocket%20Documentation.html). In this doc, they have only specified the delegate methods for using AsyncSocket. It would be better if i got some working samples of AsyncSocket. Do you have any?Regards,Sreelash

There are some example projects in the trunk directory of the subversion repository for the project. They include sample implementations and code for the delegates: http://code.google.com/p/cocoaasyncsocket/source/browse/#svn/trunk
