OpenSSL Support? Trying to do web sockets ...

Solar2D Apple TV and tvOS
#1

I’ve been having great success with Corona and Apple TV (as well as Android TV).

I am trying to get Websockets working on Apple TV.

I have been unable to add OpenSSL to my project and notice that AppleTV is not listed on the documentation page:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/openssl/index.html

Is it possible to support AppleTV? Now that I am able to see the source code  :wink: I can see that the current OpenSSL plugin was committed 6 years ago - is it just that AppleTV was no available at the time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What are you using OpenSSL for the socket?

The OpenSSL source was updated 4 days ago, it would really be great if the Corona plug-in be updated too.

Thanks Adrian,

So far I have been using AWS API Gateway as the socket server on the other end and this only supports SSL (wss:// not ws:/).

The two libraries I have tried using are:

Develephant’s version purchased from the marketplace:

https://marketplace.coronalabs.com/corona-plugins/websockets

and DMC Websockets:

https://github.com/dmccuskey/DMC-Corona-Library

to make the connections.

The source for our plugin is here: https://github.com/coronalabs/plugins-source-openssl

This would be a great opportunity for an open source or plugin developer to update this.

Well, if I knew where to even start I would gladly try!

I have some budget in my project for getting secure websockets working on Apple TV and Android TV so if any developers can help please message me.

Thanks!
