The Diffusion Apple Unified client library enables interaction with a Diffusion server from iOS, tvOS and OS X / macOS applications.

The library has been developed against Apple's Foundation Framework (a.k.a. Cocoa), providing support for developers targetting both desktop and mobile-derived platforms. The API is the same for all platforms. There are no platform-specific interfaces.

For each platform, the library is supplied as a universal (multi-architecture) framework encapsulating API headers and dynamic library binary:

iOS (iphoneos)
OS X / macOS (macosx)
tvOS (appletvos)
