Kit vs. Plugin for Bonjour

As you may know we offer both a MBS Xojo Network Plugin and a MBS Xojo Network Kit and both offer Bonjour classes. Now a client asked what to buy and the answer can be both. Just take a look on the platforms we support Bonjour:

• MBS Xojo Network Kit
  • iOS
  • Mac OS X
• MBS Xojo Network Plugin
  • Mac OS X
  • Windows
• MBS Xojo Linux Plugin
  • Linux
• MBS Xojo MacOSX Plugin
  • Mac OS X

As you see, you can use the Kit for iOS and the plugin for desktop projects. If your desktop project only runs on Mac, you could use the Kit alone and enjoy same code for iOS and Mac development.

PS: If you still use DNSServiceDiscovery classes from MacOSX plugin, please migrate to newer DNSService classes.
The linux plugin uses the avahi library which is compatible to Apple's Bonjour.
