Creation of an iOS App with a zeroMQ Hello-world Example

First, you need to do some work:

  • Get zeromq.a and libsodium.a libraries

  • best is to use the shell script of Drew Crawford : His git repo can be found here: https://github.com/drewcrawford/libzmq-ios.git) (since his git-clone of libzmq does not clone or download everyhing, you need to manually download the libsodium-ios subfolder, add it to your initially downloaded libzmq-ios, and you are good to go..)

    • edit the downloaded libzmq.sh and add newest zeromq tar version (currently TARNAME="zeromq-4.1.5")

    • execute the shell script in terminal, use:

    bash libzmq.sh

  • There are other approaches on how to create a zeromq library that can be used for an iOS app (see zeromq.org and search for iOS: Link)

  • Next is the Creation of a new ZeroMQ iOS-Project

  • copy libzmq_dis-folder into your project folder

  • copy libsodium_dist-folder into your project folder

  • add the two frameworks (i.e. zeromq.a and libsodium.a)

  • add also the include .h-files (i.e. libzmq_dist/include/ and libsodium_dist/include/)

--> You should end up with something like this: framework folder in your app

Normally, you are all set now to start programming a C++ zeroMQ function inside your new iOS project. I recommend building an Objective-C Wrapper class in order to program the C++ functions.

How to create Mac OSX ZeroMQ-Server/Clients:

In order to test your newly created zeroMQ iOS App, you need to have a test-server (eventuall client). In order to get something like that please follow this tutorial by David Raleigh:
