I’m sufficiently familiar with the low-level APIs that I just use them directly. Serial ports are exposed to apps in a way that’s independent of how they’re connected.Īs for Swift-friendly higher-level APIs for serial, I don’t have any suggestions for you, alas. To be clear, the USB-ness doesn’t matter here. The information in Imported C and Objective-C APIs can help.Īre there recommend swift libraries/frameworks for interacting with serial devices via USB? You’ll need to learn how to work with C APIs from Swift. Doing this stuff in Swift is challenging because the relevant APIs do not have nice Swift wrappers (at least not from Apple). This serial port took a long time to connect and then disconnected as soon as it connected. The first one I set up Mac called SerialPort. With regards A, the canonical example of how to find serial ports is SerialPortSample.Īll of the above assumes that you’re coming from a C-based language. Now that your Android and Mac are paired, you need to set up a Serial port for the Terminal program to talk to. My ‘go to’ book for this sort of thing in Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment, although I must admit that I haven’t specifically consulted it for serial programming advice. With regards B, macOS is much like any other BSD-flavoured UNIX, and you should consult standard UNIX resources on this topic. Have been disappointed with the lack of Apple documention supporting serial port programming.ĭiscovering the available serial ports (A) However, there is a better topic area, Core OS > Drivers and Device Access, and I’ve moved you thread there.
