How can I go about transferring a NSData object from 1 iphone to another? (It is an audio which I am looking to play out of iphone #2)
Of course there are various ways to achieve this.
My suggestion would be to look at Apple’s GameKit library. This makes it trivial to establish a connection to another iOS device. You may connect via Bluetooth or Wifi (if all you need to do is ‘trigger’ a sound that already exists in the application bundle on both devices, bluetooth will work fine – if you actually need to transfer a sound file, you probably want to use a Wifi connection). You will have to implement the actual transmission mechanism/protocol yourself in either case.
Another option is to use Bonjour and pass your data over TCP/IP.
