A lightweight MQTT 3.1.1 client written in pure Swift 4

1. On Linux, install OpenSSL (if not already installed):

   sudo apt-get install openssl

2. In Package.swift, add Aphid as a dependency for your project.

   import PackageDescription
   
   let package = Package(
       name: "ProjectName",
       dependencies: [
           .Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Aphid.git", majorVersion: 0)
       ])

3. Create XCode project to build library (Optional)

   $ swift package generate-xcodeproj

4. In Sources/main.swift, import the Aphid module.

   import Aphid

5. Note: build locally with:

   swift build

Example usage can be found in our AphidClient Repository

There are several MQTT brokers you can use remotely such as the IBM IoT Foundation on Bluemix.

If testing locally, we recommend the Mosquitto broker:

- macOS: `brew install mosquitto`
- Ubuntu Linux: `apt-get install mosquitto`

Applications that need to run on an ARM system must be compiled with the Swift compiler targetting the ARM platform. Here are some articles to get you started.

• Building Swift 3.0 on an ARMv7 system
• Compiling an Aphid application on the Raspberry Pi 3
