The search is never finished until you decide it is by cancelling the browse.
Bonjour sends multicasts queries with an exponential backoff, up to some maximum amount of time. When a Bonjour service is advertised/registered on an interface, a multicast is sent out as well. As long as you have that browser open, Bonjour will keep watching for a matching service to appear, either as a response to one of the multicasts it sends or through an announcement sent by a device arriving on the networking or starting the service. The only alternative is a timeout and timeouts are bad. -josh > On Nov 16, 2017, at 10:36 AM, James Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > > If I use -[NSNetServiceBrowser searchForServicesOfType:inDomain:] and there > happen to be no services of the specified type, my delegate gets > netServiceBrowserWillSearch:, but nothing else.
