Proxy Label

One way to bypass parsing protection is to use a proxy server. After all, collecting information is most often done through special software. And it can be automatically blocked. But not when a proxy or VPN is used.

Updating CoreML models in an iOS app typically involves fetching a new model file, parsing it, and then updating the CoreML model with the new version. JSON parsing can be used to extract necessary information from the fetched JSON file. Below is a step-by-step guide using Swift:

Fetch and Parse JSON

Fetch a JSON file containing information about the updated CoreML model, including its download URL, version, etc.

import Foundation

// Replace with the URL of your JSON file
let jsonURLString = "https://example.com/model_info.json"

if let url = URL(string: jsonURLString),
   let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url),
   let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any] {

    // Extract information from the JSON
    if let newModelURLString = json["new_model_url"] as? String,
       let newModelVersion = json["new_model_version"] as? String {
        // Continue with the next steps
        updateCoreMLModel(with: newModelURLString, version: newModelVersion)
    }
}

Download and Save New Model:

Download the new CoreML model file from the provided URL and save it locally.

func updateCoreMLModel(with modelURLString: String, version: String) {
    guard let modelURL = URL(string: modelURLString),
          let modelData = try? Data(contentsOf: modelURL) else {
        print("Failed to download the new model.")
        return
    }

    // Save the new model to a local file
    let documentsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!
    let newModelURL = documentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("newModel.mlmodel")

    do {
        try modelData.write(to: newModelURL)
        print("New model downloaded and saved.")
        updateCoreMLModelWithNewVersion(newModelURL, version: version)
    } catch {
        print("Error saving new model: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
}

Update CoreML Model:

Load the new CoreML model and update the app's model.

import CoreML

func updateCoreMLModelWithNewVersion(_ modelURL: URL, version: String) {
    do {
        // Load the new CoreML model
        let newModel = try MLModel(contentsOf: modelURL)

        // Replace the existing CoreML model with the new version
        // Assuming your model has a custom CoreMLModelManager class
        CoreMLModelManager.shared.updateModel(newModel, version: version)

        print("CoreML model updated to version \(version).")
    } catch {
        print("Error loading new CoreML model: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
}

Handle Model Updates in App:

Depending on your app's architecture, you might want to handle the model update in a dedicated manager or service. Ensure that you handle the update gracefully and consider user experience during the update process.

Make sure to replace placeholder URLs and customize the code according to your actual implementation. Additionally, handle errors appropriately and test thoroughly to ensure a smooth update process.

In UDP communication, there is no built-in mechanism to confirm if the client has received data from the server. UDP is a connectionless protocol, which means it does not establish a connection between the client and server, and therefore, it does not provide any reliability guarantees.

However, there are some techniques you can use to improve the reliability of UDP communication and get an indication that the client has received data:

1. Acknowledgment packets: The server can send acknowledgment packets after sending data to the client. The client can then send acknowledgment packets back to the server after receiving the data. If the server does not receive the acknowledgment packets within a specific timeout period, it can assume that the client has not received the data.

2. Timeout and retransmission: The server can implement a timeout and retransmission mechanism. If the server does not receive an acknowledgment packet within a specific timeout period, it can resend the data and continue to do so until it receives an acknowledgment or reaches a predefined limit.

3. Checksums or hashes: The server can send data along with a checksum or hash value. The client can then calculate the checksum or hash of the received data and compare it with the value sent by the server. If the values match, the client can be confident that it has received the data correctly.

When using a proxy, Google Chrome warns the user about it at startup. To connect directly, you must disable proxies at system level. That is, go to "Settings" Windows, then - "Network and Internet", in the section "Proxy server" disable the corresponding item.

It depends on the purpose for which you plan to work with proxies at all. Personally, one is enough for myself. But if you plan to do massive parsing, it may not be enough to have 100 pieces.
