And the fact that the initial multicast messages are actually sent seems to support that theory as well. Regarding STA-to-STA communication, from the configuration perspective there doesn't seem to be any problem either. But, anyway, it seems like it's not a multicast problem. The thing is, after the initial query by the mac, and the response from the iPhone, nothing else happens. We did our first attempt on the network level: we can see that there are multicast message exchanged (and replied to) between the two devices. Then we need to open Xcode again and perform the 'Connect via IP' again - which is in fact a no-go for us since we use this set up for test automation. We can work around that by using the 'Connect via IP' option, which works well until we reboot the mac or the iPhone's IP changes. The problem is the one explained above: when we click on 'connect via network', nothing happens (connection is not established). From that day onwards, it stopped working. Let me share some background info: network connection has been working flawlessly between the mac Pro and the iPhone for months, until we moved to a new office. AirServer allows you to receive AirPlay and Google Cast streams, similar to an Apple TV. We are facing a ver similar issue to the one explained above, but with the 'small' difference that none of what has been suggested worked for us. AirServer is the most advanced screen mirroring receiver for Mac. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely that all STA-to-STA networking is disabled.Īpple Developer Relations, Developer Technical Support, Core OS/Hardware let myEmail = 'eskimo' + '1' + everyone, In that case you can try the Connect via IP Address process described above. If the service doesn’t show up, Wi-Fi multicast is disabled. is the Bonjour service name (it seems that Xcode uses the MAC address and the link-local IPv6 for the service name, which is wacky but there you go). You should see dns-sd log a line like this:ġ0:20:24.099 Add 2 5 local. In your Mac, start a Bonjour discovery from Terminal: $ dns-sd -B _apple-mobdev2._tcp. But that should at least get it to show up.ĭoes that mean the AP is not forwarding multi-casts, or STA-to-STA traffic? I didn’t actually choose the menu item because it wasn’t going to work because, hey, the Wi-Fi was off.

I control clicked on the device and Connect via IP Address shows up in the menu.

I disconnected the USB the device moved to the Disconnected section. I enabled Connect via Network on the right. In Xcode’s Devices window, I selected the device on the left. I turned off Wi-Fi on my device, just to be sure it wasn’t being seen on the network. Unfortunately I do not see a 'Connect via IP Address' option when I control-click on the device.
