public class SignalRService {
    private var connection: HubConnection
    
    public init(url: URL) {
        connection = HubConnectionBuilder(url: url).withLogging(minLogLevel: .error).build()
        connection.on(method: "MessageReceived", callback: { (user: String, message: String) in
            do {
                self.handleMessage(message, from: user)
            } catch {
                print(error)
            }
        })
        
        connection.start()
    }

Examples

There are several sample projects in the Examples folder. They include:

• SignalRClient.xcodeproj

  An Xcode workspace that has compiled libraries for macOS (OSX) and iOS, along with the Application targets 'ConnectionSample', 'HubSample', and 'HubSamplePhone'.

• TestServer

  A .Net solution that the unit tests and samples can be run against.

  The TestServer Requires .NET Core SDK 3.0.100 or later.

  To run, navigate to the TestServer folder and execute the following in the terminal:

  % npm install
  % dotnet run

  When running the TestServer project on macOS Monterey (12.0 or greater), you may encounter the error: "Failed to bind to address http://0.0.0.0:5000: address already in use.". This is due to Apple now advertising an 'AirPlay Receiver' on that port. This port can be freed by disabling the receiver: Navigate to System Preferences > Sharing and uncheck AirPlay Receiver.
