the server iPhone and send a string hi, I am James.
3. The server iPhone, upon receiving this string reply

Yes, you can use regular unicast DNS, and query a specified DNS

What technology option do I have when it comes to a messaging server?

Stepping back a little bit. Are you trying to build some sort of real
time messaging service? Or does it matter if the second phone doesn't
receive the message
well...I guess you can call it some sort of real time messaging
service...
I just need to send a string from iPhoneA to iPhoneB.
And allow iPhoneB to reply with another string back to iPhoneA.
That's all I am trying to do.
I had no idea it is so difficult and involves so much.

Just brainstorming theory here, but it might be made much easier if
you had a server act as an intermediary, even if all that server does
is 'introduce' the two iphones to each other.

Hi all,
Does anyone know the limitation of the iPhone simulator when it comes
to networking?
Is it crippled on the simulator?
I've tried two seperate ways of opening up a server socket.
1. is by opening up a CFSocket
2. is by a socket wrapper class called LXSocket class obtained from

The reason I am asking this seemingly redundant question is simply :
I don't have an iPhone yet (3GS won't be available in my country until
end of Aug)
and I am doing all my programming blind on the simulator.
if networking is crippled on the simulator, that means
it is not crippled

Networking should work on the simulator. There are several networking
related pieces of sample code that work on the simulator.

I use the CFSocketCopyAddress() on a CFSocketRef (my server socket)
called TCPServer.
CFDataRef serverAddressData = CFSocketCopyAddress(TCPServer);
NSString *serverAddressString;
serverAddressString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @%@, [self
It looks like you're asking for the IP address from a socket before
you've given it an IP. As someone said earlier, you have to bind an IP
address to a socket - it doesn't just come out of thin air.

No, Bonjour is applicable to any networking, local or wide area. Here's some
sample code.
