Yep, Swift is probably the way to go, I'm with you on that,
albeit, I develop mostly in ObjC :)<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi team,

</div>
<div>I write this message to inform you that there has been
major progress on porting NFD to iOS platform. As for now, I'm
able to compile and run NFD as an iOS App on the iPhone
simulator. I cannot test it on real device because it requires
signing the package with Apple-certified developer's key which
I don't have. So there might be unexpected bugs when the App
runs on real iPhones :P Unfortunately the code is not
available on Github yet because I'm still trying to reorganize
the dependencies in order to simplify the build process. After
that I'll publish the code.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Before I started the porting work, I was already working on
a new NDN client library written in (almost) pure Swift, which
is designed for Apple platforms exclusively (Mac, iPhone,
iPad, etc.) It is not polished right now but you can take a
look at the code at <a href="https://github.com/wentaoshang/SwiftNDN" target="_blank">https://github.com/wentaoshang/SwiftNDN</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The motivation of using Swift as a development language is
because it is one of the best languages for building OSX and
iOS apps, especially when you need a GUI interface using Cocoa
or Cocoa Touch. (The other choice is Objective C but I don't
quite like that language. Also, Apple is promoting the new
language very hard to hopefully replace the old one.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Attached are some screenshots of the NFD app running on
iPhone simulator. It is built with Cocoa Touch and SwiftNDN
and has the basic functionality of reporting forwarder status
such as faces, fib and rib information. All my testing are
done primarily using this demo app and some basic
consumer/producer apps built with the same libraries.</div>

<div>Best,</div>
