What is
"NetworkConstants.serviceName" "NetworkConstants.serviceType" in NetworkListener Class will you please suggest me. And
func didReceivedData(connection: NetworkConnection, with messageResponse: ConnectionMessage) what should be in "ConnectionMessage" and each of in "NetworkConnection" Class.
Reagards,
Narendra Sorathiya
None of the types you’ve mentioned here (NetWorkListener [sic], NetworkConncetion [sic], NetworkConstants, NetworkListener, NetworkConnection, ConnectionMessage) are Apple APIs. I have two theories here:
You’re using Apple APIs directly, but have misspelled the names here — In that case, please reply back with the correct details.
You’re using some wrapper around Apple APIs — If so, please dig through that wrapper to find the Apple APIs involved and post those details.
Also, what platform are you working on?

But although I got error like "No Route to Host"
Honestly, posting pages of code isn’t super helpful. I don’t have time to read through it all (especially in the context of DevForums).
Also, if you do post code, please format it as code. The standard way to do that is to enclose it in triple backquotes (or click the Code Block button). And if the code is too big for a single post, use a text attachment (the paperclip button).
Finally, I’d still like an answer to this:
what platform are you working on?

Actually I'm looking for multicast networking for home automation app for iOS 14.5 and later. I didn't find any proper solution. It is working on udpsocket. When I do run code on below 14.5 it is working properly but in iOS 14.5 or later it give me error like "No route to host".
Have you made the changes necessary to support local network privacy? If not, see the Local Network Privacy FAQ.
We didn’t enforce local network privacy for BSD Sockets code until iOS 14.5, so that would explain why you didn’t notice this in earlier iOS 14 releases.

The framework I used in our project is CocoaAsyncSocket.
Right, which is based on BSD Sockets. That explains why it worked without the multicast entitlement on iOS 14.x, x < 5, but now requires it.
And I have checked environment … and provisioning profile.
So, to be clear, you have:
Applied for and been granted the multicast networking entitlement?
Added that additional capability to your App ID?
Added the entitlement to your .entitlements file?
For detailed instructions on the last two points, see Using the Multicast Networking Additional Capability.
Totally no idea about this.
Is this problem restricted to the device? Or does it occur on the simulator as well?
