Open Source the iOS app?

Post by laoba » Sun Aug 14, 2016 1:36 am

Any chance of open sourcing the iOS app? I've seen quite a few people, myself included, that would like to use the OpenVPN protocol in our apps, but are having a hard time doing so. Or at least a more friendly framework than C? Swift or Objective-C would work!

Thanks in advance!

The C++ library used by the iOS app is available here: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3

It's released under the AGPL license so there's no requirement that the iOS app be made open source. Which is rather frustrating because at this point the iOS app is basically abandonware and I want to submit some fixes/improvements to the app itself, not just the library.
