This permission is really annoying.
In our app, we get it just because we send a request to the DNS server of the local network (the one advertise by the wifi router with DHCP) to resolve a domain name.
I guess this would not happen if we were using CFNetwork's resolver API (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/NetworkingTopics/Articles/ResolvingDNSHostnames.html), but unfortunately we can't because the app needs to perform NAPTR and SRV queries, that are unsupported by CFNetwork resolver API.
Apple, could you please avoid asking this permission when the targetted IP address is the DNS server address advertised by the router through DHCP ?
