Good morning. First of all say that you are a beginner in Swift 5.5. I am trying to use your code to communicate an iPad and an ESP32. The ESP32 part already works, but I don't get any reaction on the iPad, it doesn't even print to the console (print).
I would like to know if you have more elaborate code that I could understand and use, and that would also include reading and writing features.
Thank you very much.

Here is the explanation for what you need. Thanks for asking!
