SAMP iOS Private Server Connector

I need a solid SAMP-style client for iOS that can reliably log my GTA San Andreas copy into private multiplayer servers. The only feature I care about right now is establishing, maintaining, and cleanly dropping the multiplayer connection; chat, HUD tweaks, and other extras can wait for later milestones.

The servers I use aren’t stock—they run several custom modifications—so the handshake, packet order, and any opcode quirks those mods introduce must be handled gracefully. I can supply sample IPs and their current pawn scripts for testing once we start.

Your deliverable is an Xcode project (Swift or Objective-C) that:
• Detects and lists a given private server’s status (player count, ping).
• Joins the server, loads the modded resources without crashing, and spawns the player in-game.
• Reconnects automatically after intermittent drops.
• Exposes clean hooks so I can layer chat, UI, and control schemes afterwards.

Please keep third-party libraries lightweight and ensure everything you add is App Store-compliant; I may pursue TestFlight distribution later. Document any custom network handling in plain English so I can maintain it myself.
