Bonjour works on iPhone, iPod Touch


I see you see me

Erica from TUAW got Bonjour up and running on her iPhone and iPod touch. At this point it’s really just a proof of concept—all it can do is send pictures from the iPhone to the Touch—so it’s yet another example of doing something for the sake of it.

That’s right now, at least. In the future, with a little more tinkering, Erica says it could be possible to use the iPhone-Touch tandem as a complete Bonjour solution, sending different types of files back and forth. She sees the possibilities for “social computing” are endless.

10base-t interactive (makers of dropcopy) just released a free, open-source iPhone/Touch compatible cocoa class that wraps CFNetwork code to provide native bonjour publishing and browsing support on the iPhone/Touch.

To add bonjour to their native apps, developers need only include 10base-t interactive’s new CFBonjour class to gain access to straightforward new cocoa methods such as:

CFBonjourStartBrowsingForServices: serviceType: inDomain:

and

CFBonjourPublishWithService: machineID: onPort:

full source, API documentation and an example project are available at: http://10base-t.com/source/cfbonjour.zip
