Hello ,
I am implementing my application to be compatible for IPv6-only networks. Is there any way to handle the hardcoded IPv4 address literals (such as 172.1.2.3) in iOS8.x ?
As per the apple documentation,
- In iOS 9 and later, NSURLSession and CFNetwork automatically synthesizes IPv6 addresses from IPv4 literals locally on devices operating on DNS64/NAT64 networks.
- The ability to synthesize IPv6 addresses was added to getaddrinfo() in iOS 9.2.
In my ecosystem I need to use hardcoded literals due to certain protocols being used such as XMPP . I have referred below queries on this forum for IPv4 literals handling

But there is no mention of how to handle address literals for iOS8.x.
Thanks!
