Out of curiosity, why would anyone use Unix or BSD sockets on iOS if Apple provides way better APIs?

- mosburger 10y agoMaybe familiarity? Porting existing UNIX code to iOS (seems like that'd be pretty rare)?
- eloy 10y agoHmm, good point. I guess that most of the apps that use BSD/Unix sockets are libraries then.
- Negative1 10y agoThink game engines or legacy C++ projects there were ported to the platform and already have their own network implementation.
