TJLSessionManager

A manager class for the new MultipeerConnectivity framework. Wraps up a bunch of delegate methods and makes it so you don't have to worry about clogging up your view controller with a ton of delegate methods, or worry about rolling your own manager class. Also provides a block based API rather than the normal delegate methods.

Installation


the prefered method is [CocoaPods](http://www.cocoapods.org), just put `pod 'TJLSessionManager', '1.0.2'` into your podfile. If you don't want to use cocoapods, just grab the files in the Source folder, drop them into your project and then `#import "TJLSessionManager.h"`. I am using the new Xcode modules, so you should not need to add any frameworks to your project.

Usage


There are several things that you need to do to connect two or more users with the Multipeer framework, and the basic steps of using TJLSessionManager are outlined below.
`-initWithDisplayName:`
One device will advertise,
`-advertiseForBrowserViewController`
One device will browse, this uses the Apple provided browser view controller.
`-browseWithControllerInViewController:connected:canceled:`
This will be called when someone wants to connect.
`-didReceiveInvitationFromPeer:`
This will give you the status of the connection.
`-peerConnectionStatusOnMainQueue:block:`
Then you have a block where you will receive data that is sent from the connected peer.
`-receiveDataOnMainQueue:block:`
and thats the basics of it. The header is well documented, so you can check there as well for any further info.
