Is there a reliable swift package for running a tcp connection from an ios app ?
I managed to make it kind of work with CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost but it seems to be deprecated. SwiftSocket looks to be a good solution too but at this point I'm not very sure what to do or what to use.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Socks and SwiftSocket you can also consider the following projects:
WebSocket - WebSocket implementation for use by Client and Server
Socket.IO
BlueSocket - Socket framework for Swift using the Swift Package Manager. Works on iOS, macOS, and Linux.
Starscream - Websockets in swift for iOS and OSX
