RocControl is an iOS/iPadOS 16.6+ application written from scratch in the Swift language.
Its main target is iPad and Mac¹⁾, but can also be used with some restrictions on an iPhone.

The RocControl app is available free of charge in the App Store:

RocControl uses mDNS/Bonjour for looking up a Rocrail Server and will automatically connect.
Make sure the Rocrail Server has mDNS activated and the LAN/WLAN does support UDP Multicast.

RocControl needs Dynamic SVG Themes which must be listed in the RocWeb settings:

The path MUST contain "dynthemes" otherwise it will not be used.

The server will try to lookup requested images and icons in the Image and Icon path, as specified on the Rocrail server General settings.

If none or multiple Rocrail server was found, or option "Auto connect" is disabled, the following dialog will appear:

On top all found Rocrail servers are listet and can be connected by tapping on it.
Optionally an IP address or DNS name can be entered.
The Demo Server is only available for testing events.

Connect automatically if a Rocrail server is found by mDNS. (Bonjour)
A connect dialog will be shown if this option is disabled.
