Supporting sockets under Delphi mobile for iOS/Android

Question

I need to port out date ASTA components under Delphi XE5 Mobile, and found the ASTA is using TCustomClientSocket. It's mean I need adjust this class for supporting not only Windows sockets, but also both iOS and Android sockets.

What is the best library under the Delphi Mobile for iOS/Android for supporting native sockets?

Answer 1

Delphi ships with Indy preinstalled, which is a cross-platform socket protocol library that supports all desktop and mobile platforms that Delphi supports. Embarcadero's own cross-platform comm technologies, like DataSnap and REST, use Indy internally.
