Bonjour IM Client

Question

I want to make an iPhone app which communicates with iChat on Mac OS X via Bonjour. I have already known how to create a service using NSNetService, but how can I communicate with iChat? What service type do I need?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Bounjour is not actually used to communicate with services. It is only used to advertise services.

This means that you can only use Bonjour to find the services available on your network.

When you want to talk to those found services, you will have to implement their specific protocol.
