The Application–
I have an IOS application built by Corona, that broadcasts and multicasts its presence onto the network it is running on. The application works flawlessly when the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. In this case, other devices on the network receive the broadcasts/multicasts, and everything functions correctly.
Needless to say, the application works well on an iPhone connected to a local Wi-Fi.
The Problem–
When I run the application on an iPhone that has its personal hotspot enabled, no broadcasts/multicasts are released onto the hotspot network.
Is there any constraint regarding using a personal hotspot as a network router capable of handling broadcasts and multicasts?
In summary–
Can anyone explain why an iPhone running a personal hotspot does not broadcast/multicast packets, and how to solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Have you hunted on the Web? This is a pretty specialized question.
A Google search for ‘iphone personal hotspot udp’ turned up this:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/175139/network-broadcast-multicast-not-sent-by-iphone-in-personal-hotspot-mode
This topic I had read, and I had tried those methods posted didn’t work.
About that topic, I have tried that I sent message to all the other possible addresses in the subnet (172.20.10.2 - 172.20.10.14). It didn’t work.
And another way is C++ code, corona sdk don’t have its some coefficients about UDP setting.
I am still very confused about this problem…
