Title: Problems with TNet on Apple devices.
Post by: Shifty Geezer on February 13, 2016, 04:35:21 PM

When creating a network instance of my game on PC or Android, it is discovered by all devices. Howveer, the same code run on OSX and iOS is undiscoverable by non-Apple devices. That is, a network game started on Mac or iPad can be seen by the Mac/iPad, but not Windows or Android.

Is there some setting needed to enable server visibility on Apple things?

Also ending the Host caused a crash on iOS saying something like unsafe thread closure and to use some other means to terminate a thread.

It's because one is using multicasting and the other does not. UdpProtocol.useMulticasting should be force-set to the same thing on both platforms if you want them to see each other.

Thanks. What about the second issue? I guess it's new to iOS 9 and seems to be
          TNServerInstance.Stop ();
now being a bad way to terminate threads.
