Bonjour SDK

Bonjour SDK is a complex software solution offered by Apple to developers interested in enhancing the functionality of their applications, comprising the latest version of Bonjour as well as additional libraries, header files and other similar components.

Bonjour is a networking solution created by Apple, which functions on multiple platforms, assisting developers in the creation of a computer network, supporting other smart devices as well, requiring them to simply connect to one another.

Following the fairly swift and uneventful installation operation, users will be able to retrieve the contents of Bonjour SDK in an eponymous folder from the ‘Program Files’ section on their computer.

The package is made up of several important elements, including the libraries that users will have the option of integrating and distributing with their applications, as well as various ‘Samples’ to assist programmers in better understanding the potential properties of Bonjour SDK.

The available ‘Samples’ are written in various languages, namely C, CS, Java and Visual Basic, with elements for ‘Simple Chat’ and ‘DNS Service Browser’ applications. In the ‘Bin’ folder, users will be able to find and work with 'Control Panel Resources’, ‘Firefox Extension’ and ‘Internet Explorer Plugin Resources’, which help developers find and use Bonjour-advertised servers.

The provided ‘Control Panel’ executable enables programmers to advertise their shared folders using Bonjour, and also activate ‘Wake On Demand’. Users are required to register their domain by entering the hostname and access credentials in the indicated fields, optionally being able to advertise services on it using Bonjour.

NOTE: You need to create a developer account to download the software.
