macOS How to read Android device using Cocoa ?

[0002378]

I'm trying to write a simple Android file explorer for macOS (with Swift v3), so I can browse my Android phone/tablet filesystems on my Macs. Move/Copy/Rename/Delete/Create files and folders.

There are already a couple of apps that do (parts of) this, but I would like to write my own app so I can have full control and make it efficient for my use cases.

I did an internet search but couldn't find anything. I tried "Cocoa framework to read Android device" but the search results were irrelevant.

Thanks.

I would probably look up Cocoa + MTP or PTP as this is the primary protocol which android does USB stuff: https://www.howtogeek.com/192732/android-usb-connections-explained-mtp-ptp-and-usb-mass-storage/
