Hi devs,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">How do Android apps communicate with NFD in the NDN app? I suppose apps on Android are sandboxed similarly to iOS (is this wrong?) and not sure how my app would create a unix socket connection with NFD. Likewise, how the app would access the keychain?
(disclaimer: my app uses NDN-CPP)</div>
