Adopt Network.framework for our sockets on Apple systems

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • iOS/tvOS/watchOS, macOS

    Description

      The SecureTransport framework we use for secure sockets on Apple system has been deprecated and is considered legacy. 

      The replacement framework for secure sockets is Network.framework. As this framework is not limited to secure sockets we should take the full step and adopt it for both plain sockets and secure sockets.

      In practice that means a new socket engine in QtNetwork, and a new TLS plugin.

      This issue acts as a tracking task for the various activities needed to get us to that point.
