iOS support
« on: February 06, 2016, 03:43:59 PM »
It's only just come to my attention that you don't officially support iOS! As I have two apps invested in TNet and assumed it'd work with iOS when it comes time to port, this is of major concern. What doesn't work on iOS? I'm not using any advanced functions as far as I know - only RPCs and network custom creation. Is that functional? Or will I need to rewrite the whole networking code in something else to be fully cross-platform?

I see iOS content on the forum so guess TNet works on the whole. Maybe list it as supported but with reduced functionality, and make it clear what doesn't work?

It should work fine, yes. It's not officially supported because testing on iOS is a huge pita. That said, I had Starlink over on iOS for the past year (license finally expired yesterday), and it was fine.

Hi Aren - sorry to "wake up" an old thread, but - what can we do as your "fans" to help push the iOS development forward? Document our process? Test certain setups? Record performance in different situations? Make an implementation tutorial? Even a post for iOS with a to-do list that we can look at might be able to help us help you?

Just a thought, thanks.

There shouldn't be any need for anything iOS specific. If you run into any issues, mention them.
