Initial release of RDPKit: a Pure Swift RDP library for Apple platforms, built around Apple media, security, and networking primitives instead of FreeRDP.

Highlights

  • Pure Swift RDP protocol implementation for macOS, iOS, tvOS, Mac Catalyst, and visionOS
  • RDPGFX graphics pipeline with AVC420/H.264, AVC444/H.264, AVC444v2, and HEVC/H.265 support
  • VideoToolbox-backed decode helpers with CoreVideo frame output
  • SwiftNIO and SwiftNIO SSL transport, including TLS upgrade on an existing RDP socket
  • Credential-aware session setup, certificate reporting, input, display control, clipboard, file transfer, audio, and render metrics
  • No FreeRDP, no native RDP core, and no non-Apple package dependencies

Installation

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/steelbrain/RDPKit.git", from: "0.1.0"),
