Video playback Mirroring prevention workaround - objective-c

Environment
Xcode # OS-X Yosemite
iOS App # Obj-C
Use-case
Quicktime mirroring session is set between the iOS & the OSX (How do I set up a mirroring session between iOS 8 and Yosemite? )
A 3rd party SDK is integrated with the iOS app
The SDK is used for Video playback
When video is playing and the mirroring session is set ( as External Display ) no video is playing ( only audio )
The SDK doesn’t have any API to control external video playback/mirroring ON/OFF while mirroring
I need to be able to mirror the video to my OSX Desktop, for that, I have tried hiding the mirrored screen from the 3rd party SDK in the following manner ( this however didn’t help ):

method = class_getInstanceMethod([AVPlayer class], #selector(allowsAirPlayVideo));
//method_setImplementation(method, (IMP)ret_YES);
method_setImplementation(method, (IMP)ret_NO);
}
}
How can I go around the Video playback mirroring protection? is there any lower level API I should intercept ?

objective c gets EXC_BAD_ACCESS error on completionhandler

i'm new to objective-c, please bear with me if i ask stupid questions :)
The following is part of code i have to start vpn tunnel, but keeps getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS error
- (void)startTunnelWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)options completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL * error))completionHandler {
vpnAdapter = [[OpenAdapter alloc] init];
vpnAdapter.delegate = self;
// get config
config = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
NETunnelProviderProtocol *protocol = (NETunnelProviderProtocol *)self.protocolConfiguration;
config = protocol.providerConfiguration;
host = config[#"server"];
// Load config data
username = config[#"username"];
password = config[#"password"];
if(option != nil){
[vpnAdapter connect:host user:username pass:password add:YES completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
// return success;
completionHandler(&success); // Thread 2: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xbcc68f020)
}];
}else{
[vpnAdapter connect:host user:username pass:password add:NO completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
completionHandler(&success);
}];
}
}
here is connect method
- (void)connect: (NSString *) host user:(NSString *)username pass:(NSString *) password add:(Boolean) isAdd completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL success)) completionHandler{
dispatch_queue_attr_t attributes = dispatch_queue_attr_make_with_qos_class(DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL, QOS_CLASS_UTILITY, 0);
dispatch_queue_t connectQueue = dispatch_queue_create("me.ss-abramchuk.open-adapter.connection", attributes);
dispatch_async(connectQueue, ^{
// Call connect
//int ret=1;
NSArray* options = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"--user", username,
host,
nil];
if(isAdd){
options = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

#"--protocol", #"ad",
host,

}
//NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
//NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSMutableArray *arguments = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:1+[options count]];
[arguments addObject:#"connect"];
[arguments addObjectsFromArray:options];
int argc = [arguments count];
char **argv = (char **)malloc(sizeof(char*) * (argc + 1));
[arguments enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSString *option, NSUInteger i, BOOL *stop) {
const char * c_string = [option UTF8String];
int length = (int)strlen(c_string);
char *c_string_copy = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * (length + 1));
strcpy(c_string_copy, c_string);
argv[i] = c_string_copy;
}];
argv[argc] = NULL;
const char *cfPass=[password UTF8String];
int ret = self.vpnClient->start2connect(argc, argv, cfPass);
BOOL result;
if (ret!=0){
result=false;
}
else {result = true;}
completionHandler(result);
});
}
all of these are from networkextension and while debugging, i found int ret = self.vpnClient->start2connect(argc, argv, cfPass);
seems not returning any value.
however, i confirmed that the start2connect method does return int value
so for now, anyone can help explain what's wrong?
thanks
The BOOL * is a pointer to a BOOL. We don’t use that pattern very often. We use it where the block needs to update a BOOL property somewhere, e.g. in enumerateMatchesinString, where you can update the boolean that stop points to in order to stop the enumeration.
But this is a completion handler, so there’s no point in passing a pointer to the boolean (one that presumably was on the stack, inviting problems). Just pass the boolean itself, not a pointer to it.
I would suggest that instead of:
- (void)startTunnelWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)options completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL * error))completionHandler {
...
[vpnAdapter connect:host user:username pass:password add:YES completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
completionHandler(&success);
}];
...
}
That you want:
- (void)startTunnelWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)options completionHandler:(void (^)(BOOL success))completionHandler {
...
[vpnAdapter connect:host user:username pass:password add:YES completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
completionHandler(success);
}];
...
}
Note the block parameter isn’t BOOL * error but rather BOOL success and when it calls the completionHandler, there’s not & before success.
If there’s some reason you needed to update the BOOL, then that’s a different matter, but it doesn’t make sense in the context of a completion handler.

Memory Leak Using IOKit (Adapted From USBPrivateDataSample)

Well. I'm back with another memory leak question. I recently asked a similar question here, but it turns out that code doesn't entirely do what I am trying to accomplish (which is to perform an action whenever any USB device connects/disconnects, and not just when an HID devices does).
I've started over from scratch, and have adapted Apple's USBPrivateDataSample and some of GitHub project ORSSerialPort into something that seems to work just like I want it to -- except --there are memory leaks. :(
I've tried applying the knowledge gained from my previous posts about dealing with memory leaks, but I'm stuck again. What am I missing? Thanks very much in advance.

Swizzle an unknown selector of a specific class at runtime

I have a class with the following method in one of my library's public headers. A user of my class will pass in the selector and class.
-(void)someMethodWithSelector(SEL)aSelector ofClass:(Class)clazz
At compile time, I don't know what the selector will look like, how many parameters will be passed, etc... but what I want is to be able to swizzle the passed selector at runtime, perform some extra logic, and call the original method afterwards.
I know how to swizzle class and instance methods, but I'm unsure how I would proceed given this scenario.
Has anyone had any experience dealing with a similar approach?

EKEventStore enumerateEventsMatchingPredicate in Swift

I have following code in Objective C that fetches events from calendar. Its working code.
I migrated to Swift but fail to write the same in Swift language.
NSMutableArray *events = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[_eventStore enumerateEventsMatchingPredicate:predicate
usingBlock:^(EKEvent *event, BOOL *stop) {
if (event)
{
NSUInteger fid = [events indexOfObjectPassingTest:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop)
{
EKEvent *revent = (EKEvent*)obj;
if (sameAttendees(event.attendees, revent.attendees)) // my method
{
*stop = YES;
return YES;
}
return NO;
}];
}
}];
The issue is that syntax is changed to:
_eventStore.enumerateEventsMatchingPredicate(predicate, usingBlock: EKEventSearchCallback!)
How to write EKEventSearchCallback in Swift?
From docs:
typedef void (^EKEventSearchCallback)(EKEvent *event, BOOL *stop);
please help,
This is how its works:
_eventStore.enumerateEventsMatchingPredicate(predicate, usingBlock:{
(event:EKEvent!, stop:UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool>) in
// inner code
}) // block

iOS Programmatically find IP Address [duplicate]

I would like to obtain my iPad's IP address programmatically.
How can I query the networking subsystem to find out what my IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses are?
PS: Can I disable IPv6 somehow?
The following code finds all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on an iOS or OSX device. The first getIPAddress method acts more or less as the older code in this answer: you can prefer either one or the other type address, and it always prefers WIFI over cellular (obviously you could change this).
More interestingly it can return a dictionary of all addresses found, skipping addresses for not up interfaces, or addresses associated with loopback. The previous code as well as other solutions on this topic will not properly decode IPv6 (inet_ntoa cannot deal with them). This was pointed out to me by Jens Alfke on an Apple forum - the proper function to use is inet_ntop (look at the man page, and or refer to this inet_ntop article also provided by Jens.
The dictionary keys have the form "interface" "/" "ipv4 or ipv6".

EDIT1: Code updated on May 16, 2014 (bug pointed out by lhunath, see comments). Loopback addresses now returned, but its easy for you to uncomment the test to exclude them yourself.
EDIT2: (by some unknown person): Improved further March 13, 2015: In case the user uses a VPN (regardless over WiFi or Cellular), the previous code would have failed. Now, it works even with VPN connections. VPN connections are given precedence over WiFi and Cell because that's how the device handles it. This should even work for Macs as the VPN connection on a Mac is also using IF utun0 but not tested.
EDIT3: (9/8/2016) Given the problems experienced by #Qiulang (see comments) with the VPN code (which someone else added), I've commented it out. If anyone knows definitively how to specify a user VPN please chime in with a comment.
In your implementation file .m ,
#import <ifaddrs.h>
#import <arpa/inet.h>
// Get IP Address
- (NSString *)getIPAddress {
NSString *address = #"error";
struct ifaddrs *interfaces = NULL;
struct ifaddrs *temp_addr = NULL;
int success = 0;
// retrieve the current interfaces - returns 0 on success
success = getifaddrs(&interfaces);
if (success == 0) {
// Loop through linked list of interfaces
temp_addr = interfaces;
while(temp_addr != NULL) {
if(temp_addr->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) {
// Check if interface is en0 which is the wifi connection on the iPhone
if([[NSString stringWithUTF8String:temp_addr->ifa_name] isEqualToString:#"en0"]) {
// Get NSString from C String
address = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:inet_ntoa(((struct sockaddr_in *)temp_addr->ifa_addr)->sin_addr)];
}
}
temp_addr = temp_addr->ifa_next;
}
}
// Free memory
freeifaddrs(interfaces);
return address;
}
Many existing solutions only consider wireless interfaces, which won't work for wired connections via an Ethernet adapter (ie. no Wifi or 3G); see this more recent solution which considers IP addresses obtained through wired interfaces as well.

#DavidH's answer works fine till I got this result from some 4G cellular network:
{
"lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
"lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
"pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.132.76.168";
"utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::72c3:e25e:da85:b730";
}
I am not using vpn so I have no idea why I had a utun0/ipv6.
--- Updated ---
I further debug this issue and found that I can get an fake vpn address even in other 4G networks (is this iOS bug??),
{
""awdl0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::c018:9fff:feb2:988"";
""en0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::181a:2e43:f91b:db2b"";
""lo0/ipv4"" = ""127.0.0.1"";
""lo0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::1"";
""pdp_ip0/ipv4"" = ""10.48.10.210"";
""utun0/ipv4"" = ""192.168.99.2"";
}
If I did use vpn I will get this:
{
"lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
"lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
"pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.49.187.23";
"utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::5748:5b5d:2bf0:658d";
"utun1/ipv4" = "192.168.99.2"; //the real one
}
So it is utun1 NOT utun0
Without figuring out why I will just have to drop vpn check :(
---- update ----
I raised a bug (28131847) to apple and replied with "Not all utun interfaces are for VPN. There are other OS features that use utun interfaces."
But when I asked how to get a valid vpn IP address then, their answer was rather disappointed, "You can go into Settings -> VPN and look at your VPN configuration to see if the VPN is active. In some cases you can see the assigned IP address there as well. We are now closing this bug report." :(
---- update 2016/11/04 ----
I hit the problem again and I need to further modify #DavidH's answer to fix it:
I was in 4G network and I got this address:
addresses: {
"awdl0/ipv6" = "fe80::98fd:e6ff:fea9:3afd";
"en0/ipv6" = "fe80::8dd:7d92:4159:170e";
"lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
"lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
"pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.37.212.102";
"utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::279c:ea56:a2ef:d128";
}
With his original answer I will get the wifi IP fe80::8dd:7d92:4159:170e, which was fake and connection failed.
So I modified the code to like,
[searchArray enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSString *key, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop)
{
if ((internetReach.isReachableViaWiFi && [key hasPrefix:IOS_WIFI]) ||
(internetReach.isReachableViaWWAN && [key hasPrefix:IOS_CELLULAR])) {
address = addresses[key];
if(address) *stop = YES;
}
} ];
The current solution doesn't return the en0 device on OS X, the following code uses the System Configuration Framework to get the interfaces then uses standard C functions to get the IP address.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#define IFT_ETHER 0x6
#include <SystemConfiguration/SCDynamicStore.h>
+(void)getInterfaces
{
SCDynamicStoreRef storeRef = SCDynamicStoreCreate(NULL, (CFStringRef)#"FindCurrentInterfaceIpMac", NULL, NULL);
CFPropertyListRef global = SCDynamicStoreCopyValue (storeRef,CFSTR("State:/Network/Interface"));
id primaryInterface = [(__bridge NSDictionary *)global valueForKey:#"Interfaces"];
for (NSString* item in primaryInterface)
{
if(get_iface_address([item UTF8String]))
{
NSString *ip = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:get_iface_address([item UTF8String])];
NSLog(#"interface: %# - %#",item,ip);
} else
NSLog(#"interface: %#",item);
}
}
static char * get_iface_address (char *interface)
{
int sock;
uint32_t ip;
struct ifreq ifr;
char *val;
if (!interface)
return NULL;
/* determine UDN according to MAC address */
sock = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sock < 0)
{
perror ("socket");
return NULL;
}
strcpy (ifr.ifr_name, interface);
ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET;
if (ioctl (sock, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifr) < 0)
{
perror ("ioctl");
close (sock);
return NULL;
}
val = (char *) malloc (16 * sizeof (char));
ip = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr.ifr_addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
ip = ntohl (ip);
sprintf (val, "%d.%d.%d.%d",
(ip >> 24) & 0xFF, (ip >> 16) & 0xFF, (ip >> 8) & 0xFF, ip & 0xFF);
close (sock);
return val;
}
This answer was inspired by #DavidH's answer. I fixed some issues, replaced inet_ntop with getnameinfo which allows a cleaner approach. Note that this yields a dictionary that maps an interface name to an array of IP addresses (an interface can have multiple IPv4 and IPv6's associated with it, technically). It does not distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6:
// Get all our interface addresses.
struct ifaddrs *ifAddresses;
if (getifaddrs( &ifAddresses ) != 0) {
NSLog( #"Couldn't get interface addresses: %d", errno );
return nil;
}
int error;
char host[MAX( INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN )];
_ipAddressesByInterface = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:8];
for (struct ifaddrs *ifAddress = ifAddresses; ifAddress; ifAddress = ifAddress->ifa_next) {
if (!(ifAddress->ifa_flags & IFF_UP) || (ifAddress->ifa_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))
// Ignore interfaces that aren't up and loopback interfaces.
continue;
if (ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_family != AF_INET && ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_family != AF_INET6)
// Ignore non-internet addresses.
continue;
if ((error = getnameinfo( ifAddress->ifa_addr, ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_len, host, sizeof( host ), NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST )) != noErr) {
// Couldn't to format host name for this address.
NSLog( #"Couldn't resolve host name for address: %s", gai_strerror( error ) );
continue;
}
NSString *ifName = [NSString stringWithCString:ifAddress->ifa_name encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableArray *ifIpAddresses = _ipAddressesByInterface[ifName];
if (!ifIpAddresses)
ifIpAddresses = _ipAddressesByInterface[ifName] = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:2];
[ifIpAddresses addObject:[NSString stringWithCString:host encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
freeifaddrs( ifAddresses );
return _ipAddressesByInterface;
Great solution for swift in This file which serves all the details.
In One of my app I need to fetch wifi IP address. I have used answers above, in swift 3 like this:
let WIFI_IF = "en0"
let UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS = ""
var addresses: [AnyHashable: Any] = ["wireless": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS, "wired": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS, "cell": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS]
var interfaces: UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>? = nil
var temp_addr: UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>? = nil
var success: Int = 0
success = Int(getifaddrs(&interfaces))
if success == 0 {
temp_addr = interfaces
while temp_addr != nil {
if temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr == nil {
continue
}
if temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET) {
if (String(utf8String: (temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_name)!) == WIFI_IF) {
addresses["wireless"] = String(utf8String: inet_ntoa(((temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr as? sockaddr_in)?.sin_addr)!))
}
}
temp_addr = temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_next
}
}
In this code, It crashes because I have to check for nil in each statement I have used as optional with ?. So it is better for me to use given linked file in my class. It becomes easy for me to check now like:
class func getWifiIPAddress() -> String {
var wifiIp = ""
let WIFI_IF = "en0"
let allInterface = Interface.allInterfaces()
for interf in allInterface {
if interf.name == WIFI_IF {
if let address = interf.address {
if address.contains(".") {
wifiIp = address
break
}
}
}
}
return wifiIp
}
I have parsed string for "." because Interface Class returns two interface in my iPhone for en0 address like "fb00::" and address like "101.10.1.1"
I created a simple file for getting the ip address. I based this solution on # lundhjem's, #DavidH's and #Ihunath's answers. It considers wired connections. I haven't included VPN in this solution though.
