...The project is aimed at scenarios where you want a reliable, direct link between a Mac app and an iOS app without relying on Wi-Fi discovery, manual hostnames, or network exposure. A key motivation is that a USB link is inherently constrained to the devices at each end of the cable, which can make the communication model feel more contained and straightforward for certain tooling or companion-app setups. Typical use cases include developer tools, companion displays, device-to-desktop instrumentation, or any workflow where an iOS device acts as a peripheral to a desktop app. The library is intentionally focused: it’s not trying to be a full networking framework, but rather a practical way to “hug it out over USB” for app-to-app messaging.

...It simplifies communication over the serial port by providing methods and interfaces, which can be used to read and write to the serial port or over an emulated serial cable by using bluetooth. The major focus is on the ease of use of the library. Besides that the experienced user has the ability to change the reading and writing behaviour of the library. This means the user can easily extend and customize the RedComm library. Internally RedComm uses part of the RxTx Library (http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) for port communication. ...
