I'm writing a fairly simple server <-> client app. The server publishes a network name using Bonjour and clients get a list of names. They choose one (for now). After this choice, I would like the selection to somehow be saved using NSUserDefaults. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this is to get the name of the saved network and save that string. Is this assumption correct? If not, how would you suggest I accomplish this? Is there anyway to save the enough network information to reconnect to the same server even if the network name has been changed? The goal is to be able to automatically reconnect to an already chosen network -- if there's one saved -- when the app loads. I'm still learning this stuff, but it's becoming slightly easier. Thanks for the help.
NSNetService instances aren't archivable, so you can't directly encode them. You can write out your own dictionary which would contain the domain and name of the selected service (presumably you're always browsing for the same type, so you don't necessarily have to write that out - if you're browsing for the same domain all the time, then that's not necessary either).
When the user runs the application again, retrieve the dictionary and use those values to call -[NSNetService initWithDomain:type:name:]. That call returns an NSNetService suitable for resolution.
