NetServiceBrowser service always fails on iPhone if we create build from xcode 12.
Code Block 
// We are using following line in to start searching for sevices available on network
//
        self.serviceBrowser.searchForServices(ofType: "_http._tcp.", inDomain: "local.")   


It return following error dicitonary : ["NSNetServicesErrorCode": -72008, "NSNetServicesErrorDomain": 10]

I did not find -72008 in error codes for NSNetServicesErrorDomain.

It works as exepcted with previous vesions of Xcode. With Xcode 12 it works only on Simulator.

Have you set NSBonjourServices?

In our application serviceBrowser is of type NetServiceBrowser. Should I use NSBonjourServices?

Thanks you for help. Its working now after adding NSBonjourServices in plist.

I have the same issue.

I have added both : "Privacy - Local Network Usage Description" & "Bonjour Services" to Info.plist

I have tried both syntaxes for Bonjour Services value as it seems to work in both ways depending on people feedback:
_Test._tcp
Test.tcp
I have tried with tcp and udp, or tcp or udp values for Bonjour Services

I still have the following error :
[MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser] Server did not publish: errorDict [{
  NSNetServicesErrorCode = "-72008";
  NSNetServicesErrorDomain = 10;
}].
Error Domain=NSNetServicesErrorDomain Code=-72008 "(null)"

on ios 14.1 and Xcode 12.1

What is wrong here ?

Error -72008 is NSNetServicesMissingRequiredConfigurationError, meaning that you’ve failed to configure the above-mentioned Info.plist property. If you’re using Multipeer Connectivity, see Local Network Privacy FAQ-14.

Hi :)

I was fiddling with the list of Bonjour Services in Info.plist and couldn't get it to work... But then I used the Console app and was able to see the exact string... turned out that I needed a '.' in the end...

From Console I got: "App Info.plist(NSBonjourServices) does not allow '_myprotocol._http._tcp.' for (My App)"

Then I just pasted that protocol name into Info.plist and it started to work :D

(It might be 'my' protocol name was illformed from the beginning.)

Happy days :)
