Multipeerconnectivity on iOS with Xcode

Question

Both devices advertising and browsing. The problem occurs when trying the establish a connection.

func session(_ session: MCSession, peer peerID: MCPeerID, didChange state: MCSessionState) {}

Does working when trying to connect but after few seconds, it's been calling again with MCSessionState == .notConnected .

Tried both with WiFi, BT, and every combination in between...

Just added:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
    <key>NSTemporaryExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
    <false/>
</dict>

Did not helped much... Still getting in the console (just on the iOS 10.2 device, though...):

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I found a solution. It still shows some errors but it works for me.

Try initialising MCSession as follows:

let mcSession = MCSession(peer: self.mcPeerId, securityIdentity: nil, encryptionPreference: .none)

then implement MCSession's certificate handler delegate method as follows:

func session(_ session: MCSession, didReceiveCertificate certificate: [Any]?, fromPeer peerID: MCPeerID, certificateHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
    certificateHandler(true)
}

yeah this also worked for me. thx man – Puerperal

Answer 2

Did you keep a reference to the MCSession object for both advertiser and browser? Those BINDING_REQUEST failed messages do occur if an in-use MCSession object gets deallocated.

Answer 3

If both devices continue to advertise and browse after making a connection they may disconnect when they re-discover each other. Right after making a connection, turn off browsing by calling:

MCNearbyServiceBrowser.stopBrowsingForPeers()

If the devices continue to advertise, other devices can still connect to them.
