swift-hap-starter

A simple Homekit Accessory Protocol (HAP) starter project in Swift that uses Bouke Haarsma's excellent HAP package.

Build and Test

Prerequistes

macOS

Install libsodium using Homebrew:

	brew install libsodium

Linux

Install the necessary dependencies, e.g. using apt:

	sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev libsodium-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Build and run using the Swift Package Manager

swift build -c release
.build/release/swift-hap-starter

Customize

To customise, edit main.swift in the Sources/swift-hap-starter subdirectory. Under macOS you might want to create an Xcode project for easier editing:

swift package generate-xcodeproj
open swift-hap-starter.xcodeproj

Troubleshooting

Linux

• Older Swift 4.x, ARM-based Linux versions (e.g. for the Raspberry Pi) seem to have a bug that makes them crash.

• The BlueSignals dependency package currently does not build under Ubuntu 18.04 against the Swift 4.2-CONVERGENCE toolchain (error: converting non-escaping value to 'T' may allow it to escape).

• The BlueCryptor dependency package currently only works with OpenSSL-1.0.x (not 1.1.x or newer). For older linux distributions, this may be the default, in which case you may want to apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev (instead of libssl1.0-dev, which is required for newer versions of Debian or Ubuntu).

Credits

This project would not be possible without the excellent Swift HAP library written by Bouke Haarsma and contributors.
