Apple Remote Framework

A framework to use the Apple Remote to control your apps.

Documentation

The functionality is wrapped in a single class: AppleRemote. Take a look at the header, it's pretty well documented.

The sample app included shows a really good example of how It can be used, but the basic usage is as shown below:

Objective-C

// setup an AppleRemote
self.remote = [AppleRemote remoteWithListeningMode:AppleRemoteListenWhenActiveApp];
    
// set the block to be called when a button is pressed
[self.remote setPressEventReceiver:^(RemoteControlEventIdentifier eventId) {
   // do something with eventId, probably a switch :)
}];
    
// set the block to be called when a button is released
[self.remote setReleaseEventReceiver:^(RemoteControlEventIdentifier eventId) {
   // do something with eventId
}];

Swift

// setup an AppleRemote
let remote = AppleRemote(listeningMode: .ListenWhenActiveApp)

// set the block to be called when a button is pressed
remote.pressEventReceiver = { eventId in
    // do something with eventId, probably a switch :)
}

// set the block to be called when a button is released
remote.releaseEventReceiver = { eventId in
    // do something with eventId
}

This framework is based on classes created by Martin Kahr, thanks Martin for your great work.
