the obvious (and probably biggest) thing missing is ARC support. As I already 
mentioned this poses a problem in ARC-ready code which drags in corebase 
headers via other classes. It obviously doesn't matter if you compile these 
other classes with -fno-arc, as the header inclusion alone is the whole problem 
(and sometimes pretty hard to avoid, as you can't always forward-declare or 
mask required structs).

The next problem I encountered was missing functionality in CFSocket, 
specifically CFSocketEnableCallBacks/CFSocketDisableCallBacks. This is probably 
not too hard to implement.

The real showstopper is missing ARC support.

Yes, definitely. I was really surprised to see so much being implemented, I 
didn't really expect that. ;-)

I just revisited the issue and have to correct myself. It seems that 
GSAvahiNetService doesn't properly retain the name given to it via 
-[NSNetService initWithDomain:type:name:port:]. I just had a brief look at the 
code and saw nothing suspicious, but the following code will demonstrate the 
issue:


NSString *name = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] 
stringForKey:@"ServiceName"];
if (!name)
  name = CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, 
CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault));

NSNetService *service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@"" 
type:@"_test-service._tcp." name:name port:12345];
[service publish];


This happens when _not_ passing any argument to the test program:

2013-01-09 16:23:03.156 TestService[45728] 
service:fdfee732-1df0-40da-95a0-f3c57f4fe760 type:_test-service._tcp. port:12345
Assertion failed: (name), function avahi_entry_group_add_service_strlst, file 
entrygroup.c, line 422.
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)


If you provide -ServiceName fdfee732-1df0-40da-95a0-f3c57f4fe760 as command 
line argument, the assertion doesn't happen.



Cheers,

  Marcus
