Hello,

I'm building apps for iPhone and iPad. Those are working together like a 2-screen Nintendo switch. Is there any way for communication between iPhone and iPad without an outside server? PAN(personal area network) could be a solution, but I could not find any information to use it for my case. If the iPad is connected to iPhone as a personal hotspot (though there's no cell tower), they should be communicate each other. I think there's a better way for my case. Could anyone can tell me where I start to looking for?

Thanks, JJ

One way to do this could be using the CoreBluetooth framework and communicate back and forth via Bluetooth LE.

Unless you are transferring high bandwidth data with strict latency requirements, this will work fine.

Transferring Data Between Bluetooth Low Energy Devices is an example project showing how you can accomplish this.
