**UPDATE 2019: HOSTESS CANNOT READ THE SSID AS OF IOS 13**

A Swift implementation of [NSHost (Host in Swift)](https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/host) that works on iOS, OS X and tvOS. 

Hostess.swift is safe to use in a framework because it does not require a bridging header.

## Usage

### Carthage 

Adding Hostess to your Xcode project using Carthage is very straightforward:

    github "rjstelling/Hostess.swift"

Run `carthage` to download and build the framework.

### Cocopods

Installing Hostess using Cocoapods, add the following line to your Podfile:

    pod 'Hostess', '~> 1.0'

Then run the `pod install` command. 

## Motivation

Hostess.swift was created because NSHost is unavailable on iOS and CFHost does not offer the full functionality of it OS X counterpart.

  					

In addition, those developers hoping for a pure-Swift solution were out of luck without using a bridging header.

  					

Hostess.swift does not use a bridging header, so is safe to use in Framework development. It is 100% Swift and tries to maintain as much type safety as the low level networking C API will allow.

## Example

``` swift

let hostess = Hostess()

let deviceIP = hostess.addresses.first

print("IP: \(deviceIP)") // Will print a dot-separated IP address, e.g: 17.24.2.55

```

## What happend to Host.swift? 

[Host.swift](https://github.com/rjstelling/Host.swift) is still available but is considered end of life and I will not be maintaining it.

With the switch to Swift 3 Apple removed the NS prefix from many Foundation classes. This caused Host to clash with the renamed NSHost.

A new name was required... Hostess was chosen.
