My iOS app creates files in its documents folder when it is running

I need to write a App on a PC(and eventually on a Mac) so that when the iOS app is running and the PC app is running - the files in the iOS Documents folder should be visible and available for download from the iOS to the PC over a WiFi network.

Some other posts recommend using iTunes or iCloud however my requirements state that

  • I cannot force the user to use iTunes to transfer files
  • No iCloud or DropBox
  • No third party sign up a new account for a web service

i.e. Need a dedicated client App on the PC/Mac

Is there a standard framework available to accomplish this?

A good example is what the iTalk voice recorder does.

I guess you should take a look at Apple's Bonjour service. These documents might provide a good starting point:

Bonjour Overview

Introduction to NSNetServices and CFNetServices Programming Guide

Also, in this answer from Brad Larson you'll find some more information about Bonjour

And here's an example project from Apple showing the usage of Bonjour: BonjourWeb
