SKScannersBrowser

@interface SKScannersBrowser : NSObject

Principal class to perform discovery of the scanners in the user’s network. Only Bonjour service discovery in a local network is currently supported. Discovery process is not time limited once started - so the client should be ready to receive one of device availability callbacks at any point of time after browsing is started.

  • Starts browsing scanner devices. Does nothing if browsing is already started. Performs calling the handlers on the receiver runloop.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)startWithDidFindScannerHandler:
            (nullable SKScannersAvailabilityHandler)aFoundHandler
               didRemoveScannerHandler:
                   (nullable SKScannersAvailabilityHandler)aLostHandler;

    Swift

    func start(didFind aFoundHandler: SKScannersAvailabilityHandler?, didRemove aLostHandler: SKScannersAvailabilityHandler? = nil)

    Parameters

    aFoundHandler

    A handler to be called once a device becomes available
    aLostHandler

    A handler to be called when a device becomes unavailable

  • Stops browsing if it was started. Otherwise does nothing.
