Can"t find iOS FaceTime protocol documentation


As per the title. I searched all through the Apple website, and cannot find anything about it. I am not an iPhone developer member (yet) so don't have access to that stuff. I just want to develop an Android application that can talk with the FaceTime protocol.



It would be a bit silly if we all had to pay Apple just to view the FaceTime documentation to implement the protocol in our non-iOS applications.

  1. The docs for facetime are not yet available. You're not missing anything.

  2. At least to get started, take a look at this for the list of IETF standards used by Facetime: http://blog.imtc.org/index.php/2010/06/09/the-technology-behind-apples-facetime-standards/

    Additionally, Apple has said it will be submitting Facetime as an open standard - so there should be more documentation on how all these standards glue together in Facetime. . anyone know when this will come out?

  3. You don't have to pay to get the SDK, just to be able to test on devices

  4. Not the spec, but a detailed protocol analysis:
