Have you tried escalating that with the app’s author? Working around their limitations is tricky, and it’s not going to get less tricky over time.
I already tried this approach but it didn't work unfortunately.
As to how you might work around this, the DNS-SD API (<dns_sd.h>) has a DNSServiceRegisterRecord routine that lets you register arbitrary records. I believe that you’ll be able to use this to register A and AAAA records for your device.
Yes it's what I tried 2 days ago but the Domain on iOS never been registered. The API itself returns ok without error. This is the code:
DNSServiceErrorType err;
char txtMac[255];
TXTRecordRef recordMac;
TXTRecordCreate(&recordMac, 255, &txtMac);
err = TXTRecordSetValue(&recordMac, "mac-address", mac.toUtf8().length(), mac.toUtf8());
err = TXTRecordSetValue(&recordMac, "serial-number", serialN.toUtf8().length(), serialN.toUtf8());
err = TXTRecordSetValue(&recordMac, "ble-service-uuids", ble_uuids.toUtf8().length(), ble_uuids.toUtf8());
DNSRecordRef recordRef;
const char *hostname = "WAHOO KICKR 0000H"
DNSServiceErrorType error;
DNSServiceRef dnsRef;
struct in_addr *addr = atoaddr("192.168.0.46");
error = DNSServiceCreateConnection(&dnsRef);
error = DNSServiceRegisterRecord(dnsRef, &recordRef, kDNSServiceFlagsUnique | kDNSServiceFlagsShareConnection, 0, hostname, kDNSServiceType_A, kDNSServiceClass_IN, sizeof(struct in_addr), addr, 240, TXTRegisterCallback, NULL);
err = DNSServiceRegister(&ref1, 0, 0, serverName.toUtf8().constData(), "_wahoo-fitness-tnp._tcp", "local", serverName.toUtf8().constData(), htons(serverPort), strlen(txtMac) /* txtLen */, txtMac /* txtRecord */, register_reply_callback, NULL);
DNSServiceProcessResult(ref1);
I can see everything correct using the Discovery app, for example, but the domain is not registered. Is this API requires some special entitlement or something on iOS?
I don’t know if any of this requires the multicasts entitlement. It’s pretty obscure stuff.
Yes it's my fear too. Also if I can access to the entitlement, I can directly use the code that was working since iOS 16.1
