I wonder how iOS communication works - does it drop down to layer 2 and send raw data frames?

- lxgr 3y agoDefinitely not – unfortunately Apple is extremely picky on what they let apps do on the lower layers. True (cross-platform) P2P communications would be great, especially since the newest iphones have both long-range Bluetooth LE and 802.15.4 support, but the ball is in Apple’s court.
- raybb 3y agoAny ideas how it works on iOS then?
- lxgr 3y agoI'd be curious too! Most existing solutions I've seen use either Bluetooth LE (the only somewhat low-level API that can be used for cross-platform P2P things that Apple allows access to) or Apple-proprietary APIs like this one: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/multipeerconnectivity https://developer.apple.com/documentation/multipeerconnectiv...
