To reduce network delays on Apple devices, you can leverage several technologies and features:
-
CloudKit: This helps in keeping game state synchronized across all your players' devices, allowing for seamless transitions and reduced delays when switching devices. For example, a player can start a game on one device and continue on another without losing progress (Port advanced games to Apple platforms).
-
Game Mode on iOS: This mode reduces background activity and Bluetooth latency, improving input and headphone responsiveness, which can help in reducing network delays during gaming (Port advanced games to Apple platforms).
-
Local UI Rendering in CarPlay: By rendering the UI locally on the vehicle's system, CarPlay can respond to high-frequency signals with low latency, avoiding delays caused by Wi-Fi interference or disconnects (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
-
Private Wi-Fi Controls: iOS and macOS now support rotating MAC addresses, which can help in reducing tracking and potential network delays caused by network congestion or interference (What’s new in privacy).
-
Media Performance Metrics in AVFoundation: iOS 18 introduces new ways to gather media performance metrics, which can help in identifying and reducing issues like playback delays (Discover media performance metrics in AVFoundation).
These technologies and features can help you optimize your app's performance and reduce network delays on Apple devices.
