SignalR-ObjC is a client library for iOS and Mac OS X. It's built on top of two popular open source libraries AFNetworking and SocketRocket. SignalR-ObjC is intended to be used along side ASP.NET SignalR, a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time functionality to your applications. What is "real-time web" functionality? It's the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time.
To integrate SignalR-ObjC into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'SignalR-ObjC', '~> 2.0'
Then, run the following command:
$ pod install

| Transports | |
| SRAutoTransport | SRAutoTransport chooses the best supported transport for both client and server. This achieved by falling back to less performant transports. The default transport fallback is: 1. SRWebSocketTransport (if supported by the server) 2. SRServerSentEventsTransport 3. SRLongPollingTransport |
| SRWebSocketTransport | WebSockets is the only transport that establishes a true persistent, two-way connection between the client and server. |
| SRServerSentEventsTransport | With Server Sent Events, also known as EventSource, it's possible for a server to send new data to a client at any time, by pushing messages to the client. Server Sent Events requires few new connections then Long Polling and therefore will have less latency. |
| SRLongPollingTransport | Long polling does not create a persistent connection, but instead polls the server with a request that stays open until the server responds, at which point the connection closes, and a new connection is requested immediately. This may introduce some latency while the connection resets. |
