# MCAdvertiserAssistant

The MCAdvertiserAssistant is a convenience class that handles advertising, presents incoming invitations to the user, and handles users’ responses. Use this class to provide a user interface for handling invitations when your app does not require programmatic control over the invitation process.

## Declaration

```swift
class MCAdvertiserAssistant
```

## Overview

Overview Before you can advertise a service, you must create an MCPeerID object that identifies your app and the user to nearby devices.
