AndroidTVRemoteControl

Please suport me

This project it's implementation pairing and connection to Android TV OS devices, using protovol v2, and follows the approach described here Google TV (aka Android TV) Remote Control (v2).

Compatibility

The AndroidTVRemoteControl is supported on iOS version 13 or later and Swift 4 and above.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

In Xcode go to: File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency...

Enter the AndroidTVRemoteControl GitHub repository - https://github.com/odyshewroman/AndroidTVRemoteControl

Select the version

Import AndroidTVRemoteControl module and start to use AndroidTVRemoteControl

Cocoapods

To install AndroidTVRemoteControl with CocoaPods, add the following lines to your Podfile:

pod "AndroidTVRemoteControl"

Usage

First of all, you need a certificate to establish a TLS connection with an Android TV OS device. Since the connection is made over a local network, a self-signed certificate is suitable for this purpose.

The entire process is divided into two parts - Pairing and Sending commands (and yes, there is also an internal pairing process there).

Next, you need to create an object - CryptoManager, passing your logic for obtaining the public key of the certificate within the closure. Then, create a TLSManager and pass the logic for obtaining a CFArray - an array containing a dictionary for every item extracted from the certificate. You also need to set a closure where you will pass the SecTrust obtained from the Android TV OS device when connecting to it to the CryptoManager.

Pairing

Now you can create a PairingManager, passing TLSManager and CryptoManager as parameters. Set a closure to handle the pairing process states and call the connect method. When you receive the waitingCode state, on the Android TV OS device screen, three hex numbers (6 characters, you can validate - user input should only contain digits 0-9 and characters A-F) will be displayed. Upon receiving a string with these characters, you need to call the sendSecret method on the PairingManager. In a successful case, you will receive the successPaired state.

Remote

Congratulations, you've successfully connected to the Android TV OS device! If you've paired with this device before, you can skip the pairing and code input step and proceed directly to the command-sending process.

For sending commands, you'll need the RemoteManager object. Additionally, set up a closure to handle the connection process states and call the connect method. When the connected state is reached, you can start sending your messages to the Android TV OS device using the send method.
