ARC is still kind of a foreign concept to me. I've had some conversations with David about it, but I don't remember if I ever implemented some of his recommendations.
As for the uuid thing, it might be a problem with the toll-free bridge mechanism. I've also started doing some work in CFString that might've broken parts of it. I'm still working on it, just not as much as I should.

As I already mentioned this poses a problem in ARC-ready code which drags in corebase headers via other classes. It obviously doesn't matter if you compile these other classes with -fno-arc, as the header inclusion alone is the whole problem (and sometimes pretty hard to avoid, as you can't always forward-declare or mask required structs). The next problem I encountered was missing functionality in CFSocket, specifically CFSocketEnableCallBacks/CFSocketDisableCallBacks. This is probably not too hard to implement. The real showstopper is missing ARC support. The project is to be considered experimental, at best, but there are still a few useful features. Yes, definitely. I was really surprised to see so much being implemented, I didn't really expect that. ;-) Concerning the uuid issue you had. Could you provide me an example of what avahi does accept? I just revisited the issue and have to correct myself. It seems that GSAvahiNetService doesn't properly retain the name given to it via -[ NSNetService initWithDomain:type:name:port:]. I just had a brief look at the code and saw nothing suspicious, but the following code will demonstrate the issue: NSString *name = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@ "ServiceName"]; if (!name) name = CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault)); NSNetService *service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@"" type:@"_test-service._tcp." name:name port:12345]; [service publish]; This happens when _not_ passing any argument to the test program: 2013-01-09 16:23:03.156 TestService[45728] service:fdfee732-1df0-40da-95a0-f3c57f4fe760 type:_test-service._tcp. port:12345 Assertion failed: (name), function avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst, file entrygroup.c, line 422. Abort trap: 6 (core dumped) If you provide -ServiceName fdfee732-1df0-40da-95a0-f3c57f4fe760 as command line argument, the assertion doesn't happen.
