A communication channel from your Mac to your watch.

Providing a convenient wrapper around MMWormhole and PeerKit, Stargate leverages Multipeer Connectivity and App Groups to communicate between an OS X application and ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ via your iPhone. The communication is bi-directional and lets you send any object that complies with NSCoding.

Simply install it via CocoaPods:

use_frameworks!

pod 'Stargate'

Note: make sure you use version 0.37 or newer. Stargate is written in Swift 1.2, so it requires Xcode 6.3 or newer as well.

Send and receive messages via Multipeer Connectivity:

let stargate = Earth(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")

stargate.listenForMessage(identifier: "stargate2") { (object) -> Void in
	println("Received message on Mac: \(object)")
}

stargate.passMessage("YOLO", identifier: "stargate")

Bridge messages between Multipeer and Darwin notifications:

let stargate = Abydos(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")
    
stargate.tunnel()
stargate.tunnelReplies(identifier: "stargate2")

Send and receive messages via Darwin notifications:

let stargate = Atlantis(applicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.contentful.Stargate")

stargate.passMessage("YOLO", identifier:"stargate2")

stargate.listenForMessage(identifier:"stargate") { (object) -> Void in
	println("Received message on watch: \(object)")
}

stargate.stopListeningForMessage(identifier:"stargate")

Look at the example project for guidance on how to set up one project for all three platforms. When creating the targets, make sure you don't accidentially select the OS X target as host for the WatchKit extension.
