# stop()

Halts a currently running attempt to publish or resolve a service.

## Declaration

```swift
func stop()
```

## Discussion

Discussion The delegate will receive netServiceDidStop(_:) after the service stops. It is safe to remove all strong references to the service immediately after calling stop().
