Hi Jens - this may be pertinent to your interests:

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]);
}
