# com.apple.developer.networking.multicast

A Boolean value that indicates whether an app can send or receive IP multicast traffic.

## Discussion

Your app must have this entitlement to send or receive IP multicast or broadcast on iOS. It also allows your app to browse and advertise arbitrary Bonjour service types.

This entitlement requires permission from Apple before you can use it in your app. Request permission from the [Multicast Networking Entitlement Request](https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/networking-multicast) page.
