Get Macs, IP Addresses and Internet IP Addresses

We need to use C function to get those values. And then we check the values with command ifconfig and understand which to which.

Get Local MACs and IP Addresses

private func getLocalIPAndMACAdress() {
    var address : String?

    // Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:
    var ifaddr:UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>!
    if getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == 0 {
        // For each interface ...
        var ptr:UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>! = ifaddr
        var networkLinkDictionary = [String:[String]]()
        
        repeat {
            defer { ptr = ptr.pointee.ifa_next}
            let interface = ptr.pointee
            // Check interface name:
            let name = String(cString: interface.ifa_name)
            // Convert interface address to a human readable string:
            var hostname = [CChar](repeating: 0, count: Int(NI_MAXHOST))
            getnameinfo(interface.ifa_addr, socklen_t(interface.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_len),
                        &hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
                        nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST)
            address = String(cString: hostname)
            var values = networkLinkDictionary[name] ?? []
            values.append(address!)
            networkLinkDictionary.updateValue(values, forKey: name)
        } while ptr != nil
   
        freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
        
        set(networkLinkDictionary: networkLinkDictionary)
        
        #if DEBUG
        networkLinkDictionary.keys.sorted().forEach { key in
            print(key, "\t", networkLinkDictionary[key]!)
        }
        #endif
    }
}

private func set(networkLinkDictionary:[String:[String]]) {
    networkLinkDictionary.keys.sorted().forEach {
        switch $0 {
            // for iMac 5K, en0 is ethernet; en1 is WiFi
        case "en0":
            enthernet = getNetworkLink(values: networkLinkDictionary["en0"] ?? [])
            #if DEBUG
            debugPrint(enthernet)
            #endif
        case "en1":
            wifi = getNetworkLink(values: networkLinkDictionary["en1"] ?? [])
            #if DEBUG
            debugPrint(wifi)
            #endif
        default:
            break
        }
    }
}

private func getNetworkLink(values:[String]) -> NetworkLink {
    let networkLink:NetworkLink
    
    switch values.count {
    case 1:
        networkLink = NetworkLink(MAC: values[0])
    case 2:
        networkLink = NetworkLink(MAC: values[0], ipv6: values[1])
    case 3:
        networkLink = NetworkLink(MAC: values[0], ipv6: values[1], ipv4: values[2])
    default:
        networkLink = NetworkLink(MAC: "")
    }
    
    return networkLink
}

public struct NetworkLink:Equatable {
    public init(MAC:String, ipv6:String? = nil, ipv4:String? = nil){
        self.MAC = MAC
        self.ipv6 = ipv6
        self.ipv4 = ipv4
    }
    
    public let MAC:String
    public var ipv6:String? = nil
    public var ipv4:String? = nil
}

Get Internet IP Addresses

We use ipify.org to get internet IP addresses.

Don't use URLSession.share

Create a new URLSession each time your own. If you use URLSession.share, you app won't detect internet IP changes, it will always show the IP when the app starts.

I had tried 3 different frameworks on github.com. They all has the above issue. So I write the code myself.

private func setInterIP(type:IPType) async {
    let url:URL
    
    if !reachable {
        switch type {
        case .ipv4:
            internetIPV4 = NSLocalizedString("Inactive", bundle: .module, comment: "")
        case .ipv6:
            internetIPV6 = NSLocalizedString("Inactive", bundle: .module, comment: "")
        }
        
        return
    }
    
    switch type {
    case .ipv4:
        url = URL(string: "https://api.ipify.org?format=json")!
        
        if internetIPV4.isEmpty {
            internetIPV4 = "..."
        }
    case .ipv6:
        url = URL(string: "https://api64.ipify.org?format=json")!
        
        if internetIPV6.isEmpty {
            internetIPV6 = "..."
        }
    }
    let urlSessionConfiguration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: urlSessionConfiguration)
    
    do {
        let (data, urlResponse) = try await urlSession.data(from: url)
        DispatchQueue.main.async { [self] in
            if let httpResponse = urlResponse as? HTTPURLResponse, httpResponse.statusCode == 200 {
                if let dic = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String:String] {
                    switch type {
                    case .ipv4:
                        internetIPV4 = dic["ip"]!
                        #if DEBUG
                        debugPrint(internetIPV4)
                        #endif
                    case .ipv6:
                        internetIPV6 = dic["ip"]!
                        #if DEBUG
                        debugPrint(internetIPV6)
                        #endif
                    }
                }
            } else {
                #if DEBUG
                debugPrint(urlResponse)
                #endif
            }
        }
    } catch {
        print(error)
    }
}

Fix of Xcode SPM Downloading Speed Issue

This command will fixed the issue that Xcode downloading too slow with SPM. Say you have a project name "hello", there is a Package.swift in it.

$ cd hello
$ xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies -scmProvider system
$ open Package.swift

hello

This issue was because when using git, Xcode ignore the proxy setting by default.

Pre-request

You should have your proxy set, for me, I have

$ cat .bashrc 
# proxy list
alias proxy='export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890'
alias unproxy='unset all_proxy'

# run
proxy

Xcode not follows system proxy settings to resolve SwiftPM dependencies

Xcode 13 ignores GIT proxy settings when resolving SwiftPM packages (and probably for other SCM operations as well).

Vapor with SQLite

When using SQLite driver with Vapor, we have to install another package, or the project won't compile.

$ sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
