Cross Platform Communication using local server

There are a few things I want to address here from the Wi-Fi side of things; first, there is nothing stopping you from exposing a listener on one iOS device and handing out your IP and port to other iOS devices to connect to over the same network. This can work. There are many pitfalls with doing this though. Most notably are IP and Port changes that just render your connections useless.

Second, if you truly need a multi-client to server type messaging system on a local Wi-Fi network between multiple iOS devices you have Network Framework at your disposal. You can use NWListener to advertise a Bonjour service on the iOS device designated as the server. Then on your browsing iOS clients you can use NWBrowser to browse and connect to this service. From here, you can build your logic to communicate with other clients / server as needed. For an example of how to setup Bonjour communication like this with Network Framework, see this post. The benefit here, is that this can be done over a local Wi-Fi network and any platform that can support Bonjour service discovery and endpoint connections could theoretically work with some engineering required.

Having said that, I see you are wanting to do cross platform communication and you mentioned the MultipeerConnectivity API, can you elaborate more on the cross platform aspect of your requirement?
