iOS16 release and in-app Network Communications
We have an app that has been in the store for many years. The purpose of the app is to connect to Zebra printers via BT, Wifi, Wired, USB, etc. and then make tweaks to the printer's settings. While doing an update here over the last few months, we discovered that our Zebra family of printers will no longer ‘discover’ networked connections on the iOS version of the mobile app when iOS16 or greater was installed on the mobile devices.  I am reaching out because of this post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/663875 We definitely have multicast entitlement requested/approved and it has been added to the application.  I am wondering if we are also missing something else here in this process that we can’t find. I see that that specific forum post has been locked so I can't just tack onto that conversation. Any thoughts or articles you can point us to would be fantastic. Right now we are kinda stuck with this release until we get a version of iOS that ‘fixes’ this issue, but honestly, we are not sure if this is a bug on the Apple side (have seen inklings that it might be in other posts) or if there is more that we have to do on the network broadcasting side or something we are not aware of?
