Here again, you need to retain connection if it's an ivar. Also, you need to run the call to -rootProxy inside an exception handler, and catch any exceptions raised (timeouts are common).

@try{
   proxy = [connection rootProxy];
}
@catch(id exception){
   proxy = nil;
   NSLog(@"caught exception \"%@\"", exception);
}

Your NSLog of proxy will likely crash since you didn't initialize the local variable to nil, as well. Having netService as an ivar assigned here doesn't make sense, either.


The method now looks like this:

And do you catch an exception when you send [connection rootProxy]?

Yes and no. When I set [connection setRequestTimeout: 10] and [connection setReplyTimeout: 10] then I get a timeout exception. However, when I don't, nothing appears to happen (I leave it running for over 15 minutes just to make sure).



Finally, would it matter if I'm running the server and the client on the same machine (localhost) over the network? I don't think it should, but I'm wondering if it could be causing any problems. Because I did notice that when, in the client, I did: NSLog (@"service: %@", [netService hostName]); the value was (null).

If you were able to publish the service successfully, your client probably hasn't resolved the service yet with -[NSNetService resolveWithTimeout:]. You'll have to do that first, and then wait for the delegate method to be called.

One thing I notice happening is that in my run log, I get this:

2006-06-29 16:02:07.356 Simple Client[891] Warning: -[NSNetService resolve] is deprecated in Mac OS X 10.4. Please use -[NSNetService resolveWithTimeout:]

I'm not sure what's causing that.

So I've now changed the structure of the code a little to implement the delegate system. I set the service's delegate to be self. Now the only thing that happens in connectToServer: is it tells the netService to resolveWithTimeout. The rest of the code from that method is moved to the delegate method netServiceDidResolveAddress (which runs successfully). And yet, the application still hangs on the same [connection rootProxy] line.


Also, check your firewall settings, and you might want to start with something simple, like modifying the PictureSharing sample code to use DO over Bonjour, just to make sure it works on your machine.



I'll try doing that, too.

Thanks for all the help!
