It looks as though this just returns the first component of the name, which needs to have “.local” appended; is this correct?

Hi Jens - this may be pertinent to your interests: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1228/_index.html It suggests against using SCDynamicStoreCopyLocalHostName to create a Bonjour hostname. I’m not sure if there is any practical scenario where assuming SCDynamicStoreCopyLocalHostName would not be the same as the Bonjour hostname, would be true. I wonder if Quinn might have an up-to-date opinion on the validity of that advice. Taking it literally, I would think that the most reliable way to tell the “Bonjour name” for a device would be to register an NSNetService with @“” for the name, and then query it upon resolution: { ... _service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:@""// 1 type:@"_music._tcp" name:@"" port:0]; [_service setDelegate:self]; [_service publish]; } Then in a delegate callback: - (void)netServiceDidPublish:(NSNetService *)sender { NSLog(@"Got computer name %@", [sender name]); } Daniel _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
