OSX + ZeroTier SDK

Welcome!

Imagine a flat, encrypted, no-configuration LAN for all of the instances of your OSX app.

This short tutorial will show you how to enable ZeroTier functionality for your OSX app with little to no code modification. Check out our ZeroTier SDK page for more info on how the integration works.

---

Via Traditional Linking (Everything bundled)

• Use this if you'd like everything included in a single easy-to-use library.

make osx_shared_lib`
g++ app.cpp -o app libztosx.so
./app

Via Traditional Linking (Service+Intercept model)

• Use this model if you'd like multiple applications to talk to the same ZeroTierSDK service instance. Often the intercept-model is used when you don't have access to the source of an app and you'd like to re-direct its network calls.

Example:

gcc app.c -o app libztintercept.so
export ZT_NC_NETWORK=/tmp/sdk-test-home/nc_8056c2e21c000001

Start service

./zerotier-sdk-service -d -p8000 /tmp/sdk-test-home &

Run application

./app

Via App Framework in XCode

---

Step 1: Build OSX framework

• make osx_app_framework
• This will output to build/osx_app_framework/Release/ZeroTierSDK_OSX.framework

Step 2: Integrate SDK into project

• Add the resultant framework package to your project
• Add src directory to Build Settings -> Header Search Paths
• Add build/osx_app_framework/Release/ to Build Settings -> Framework Search Paths
• Add ZeroTierSDK.frameworkOSX to General->Embedded Binaries
• Add src/ZTSDK.swift, src/SDK_XcodeWrapper.cpp, and src/SDK_XcodeWrapper.hpp to your project:
• Set src/SDK_Apple-Bridging-Header.h as your bridging-header in Build Settings -> Objective-C Bridging-header

Step 3: Start the ZeroTier service

Start the service:

    zt.start_service("."); // Where the ZeroTier config files for this app will be stored
    zt.join_network(nwid);

Listen for incoming connections:

    let sock: Int32 = zt.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
    let ztaddr: ZTAddress = ZTAddress(AF_INET, serverAddr, Int16(serverPort))
    let bind_err: Int32 = zt.bind(sock, ztaddr)
    zt_listen(sock, 1);
    let accepted_sock: Int32 = zt.accept(sock, ztaddr)

Or, establish a connection:

    let sock: Int32 = zt.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
    let ztaddr: ZTAddress = ZTAddress(AF_INET, serverAddr, Int16(serverPort))
    let connect_err: Int32 = zt.connect(sock, ztaddr)
