I am trying to hook communication of 10 iPad's with one iPad.

MCBrowserViewController launches a view controller which will allow to select the Invitees.

It say's "Choose 1 to 7 invitees". As soon as I select One iPad in the network, it says "Choose up to 6 more invitees".

So, is the communication limited to 7 device's? How can will I be able to add 3 other devices? Is the limit related only to MCBrowserController?

No device can be connected to more than seven other devices at the same time. The limit is related to bluetooth, not MCBrowserViewController . In order to connect 10 iPads, you will need to create a chain or a tree of devices.

By constructing a chain of connected iPads I have successfully connected 12 devices. Sending messages down the chain is still reasonably fast. A binary tree of connections is better as you end up with shorter chains but managing those connections is challenging to say the least.

  • Chain of connection. A example really would provide a good help. I also, think if I have dynamic session type, a id which will be received from the server. So, as soon as 7 device limit is reached a new object will be created with a new session id. Idea is to have one master and other devices as slave, and all (master and salve )of them communicating to a single server. The master will broadcast message as required to slaves. – NNikN Feb 02 '15 at 04:03
