A Swift library that wraps Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework with a Codable-based API, letting iOS, macOS, and tvOS devices exchange typed messages over Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It provides a simple MultipeerTransceiver class for broadcasting and receiving any Codable payload between nearby peers.

Use cases

• send messages between nearby iOS devices without a server
• build a peer-to-peer multiplayer game on Apple platforms
• exchange Codable data between a Mac and an iPhone over local network
• sync app state across devices via Bluetooth or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi
• broadcast structured payloads to nearby peers in Swift
• discover and communicate with devices on the local network

When to choose

• you need serverless device-to-device communication on iOS, macOS, or tvOS
• you want a simple Codable-based API instead of raw MultipeerConnectivity
• your app exchanges small structured messages between nearby devices

When to avoid

• you need internet-based or remote communication rather than nearby peers
• you target platforms outside Apple's ecosystem
• you need large file transfers or streaming rather than small Codable messages
