How can I make an iOS device a NTP server ? The reason for this is, the network of devices I have don't have internet connection but are connected via Wifi. So just want to create a device as a server and let others to associate themselves to it.

However the iOS device won't be running all the tie so how does that help. In this case I would find a small server e.g. Raspberry, Ardinuo etc– mmmmmmJul 12, 2016 at 13:24

I'll quote two answers from Stack Overflow with the hope that it will help you figure out what you're trying to do.
There's a small iOS library named ios-ntp. I have used it in one project in the past and it seemed to work reasonably well.
As of mid 2013 the original ios-ntp project has a few missing pieces, so I have mirrored the original svn repository to github. You can checkout out a working version of the code here: https://github.com/jessedc/iOS-ntp
If you're not developing a commercial application, peek at the linux source.

2Thanks for the response, but i have seen them already and they doesn't seem to solve my purpose. The ios-ntp library makes us get the time through the standard time servers, however I need to create a ntp server of my own because I don't have access to internet. Want to create some sort of master slave architecture, any help is appreciated. Jul 1, 2014 at 21:59

I will search around. I can't promise much, but whatever I find will be posted here. Good luck.– aglasserJul 1, 2014 at 23:40
Just use dns to intercept requests to time.apple.com and point to a local Linux or raspi serving ntp. Of course, you will need to set up a dns for this to work.
