Requirement: We are able to make connection from host device to multiple slave devices. For example, if device A initiate connection to device B and C, the contributor devices can accept peer connection and connected to device A. Here A is master device and B and C are contributors device. Now if B share their songs to A, A can play songs and see songs information. In meantime C will be idle but should connected. When B will finish to play songs, then C can also able to share their songs to device A.
Here are the problem that we have faced to achieve above tasks: 1. As soon as B started sharing songs to A, C got crashed. But A still able to play song shared by B.
array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:[self.session connectedPeers], nil];
[_session sendData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:[info mutableCopy]] toPeers:[array objectAtIndex:0] withMode:MCSessionSendDataUnreliable error: &error];
NSLog(@"localizedDescription %@",error);
- To overcome from this problem directly pass array without index here
toPeers:array. It is working and we are able to share and play songs with device A, but song information not receive to device A.
Here are full code that we are using: contributor Controller :
- (void)mediaPicker:(MPMediaPickerController *)mediaPicker didPickMediaItems:(MPMediaItemCollection *)mediaItemCollection

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
someMutableArray = [mediaItemCollection items];

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:isselectsongone forKey:@"isselectsongone"];
}
[self showSpinner];
[self someSelector:nil];
}
- (void)someSelector:(NSNotification *)notification {
if(notification && someMutableArray.count>1 && counter <someMutableArray.count-1){

Please let us know if I have missed anything here or the better way to achieve the above requirement. Any help really appreciated.
