iOS (10.2) app does: SERVICE_TYPE = 1 to 63 ascii chars; no spaces; no ‘.’; no ‘[‘; can use ‘_' or '-'; case insensitive Note: I did not find these rules documented anywhere, they are just the result of trial and error.
fullNameOfServiceType = “_SERVICE_TYPE._tcp." [ NSNetServiceBrowser searchForServicesOfType: fullNameOfServiceType inDomain: … ]; If SERVICE_TYPE is more than 63 chars, then -[NSNetServiceBrowserDelegate netServiceBrowser:didNotSearch:] will complain with BadArgument. Now I see in iOS 10.2 (maybe was there before): com.apple.mDNSResponder AllINFO Bad service type in ._GmdEcho890123456._tcp.local. Application protocol name must be underscore plus 1-15 characters. See <http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html> But it still works. So: 1. what is the real constraint of SERVICE_TYPE: 1a: underscore plus 1-63 characters (NSNetServiceBrowser) 1b: underscore plus 1-15 characters (mDNSResponder) 2. is this documented anywhere?
