What is CocoaUPnP?

CocoaUPnP is a powerful framework for iOS and macOS developers that provides support for integrating Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) functionality into their applications. It allows you to discover, control, and communicate with UPnP devices on your network.

Key Features

  • Discover and list available UPnP devices on the network
  • Control devices by sending commands and retrieving responses
  • Interact with media servers to browse, search, and stream content
  • Support for UPnP service subscriptions and event handling
  • Configure and manage UPnP settings
  • Customize user interface elements for seamless integration

Getting Started

To begin using CocoaUPnP in your iOS or macOS project, follow these steps:

Step 1: Installation

First, install CocoaUPnP using CocoaPods or Carthage. Choose the method that suits your project’s needs:


// Using CocoaPods
// Add the following line to your Podfile
pod 'CocoaUPnP'
// Run 'pod install' command in your terminal

Step 2: Importing the Framework

Once CocoaUPnP is installed, import the framework in your Swift file or Objective-C bridging header:


// Swift
import CocoaUPnP

// Objective-C
#import <CocoaUPnP/CocoaUPnP.h>

Step 3: Initialization

Create an instance of the UPnPControlPoint class to start discovering devices:


// Swift
let controlPoint = UPnPControlPoint()

// Objective-C
UPnPControlPoint *controlPoint = [[UPnPControlPoint alloc] init];

Step 4: Device Discovery

Now that you have the control point instance, you can start discovering UPnP devices on the network:


// Swift
controlPoint.search()
// Implement delegate methods to handle discovered devices

// Objective-C
[controlPoint search];
// Implement delegate methods to handle discovered devices
