We have used MPC to advertise and browse for a config service for our app. All was working fine but now when we try and use this building our app with Xcode 12 and installing on iOS 14 on an iPhone we no longer can advertise or browse for our service. We have added the local network privacy string to our info.plist and also added Bonjour Services to our info.plist as well. We have a service named "zconfig-cfg" and we have tried many different variations of listing it in the Bonjour Services ... we have followed other examples and tried "zonfig-cfg.tcp" and "zconfig-cfg.upd" and variations without the leading underscore as well. Whenever we try and advertise or call browse we are getting this error code "missingRequiredConfigurationError".
What are we possibly missing? This was working fine when we ran it on iOS 13. It also worked on iOS 14 when we installed our app that was built with Xcode 11. Now when we build with Xcode 12 and install it direct to an iOS 14 device we cannot figure out what we are missing.

I cannot find any links that show me where to get help for the Apple Silicon Mac program. This entire experience has been a nightmare. Now the device will no longer let me log in and I can't seem to put it into a mode where it will reinstall from scratch. I wish I had saved our money and never had any part of this program. This hardware is not mature enough even for alpha and beta testing of anything. Who do I contact? Where do I contact them?

We have a Personal VPN that we create from within our app. The app will first attempt to connect to a server on the local wifi. If the sever is available and we are on that network then we do not start the VPN. If the server is not available then we will start up the Personal VPN and then we can connect to our server via the VPN. This all works fine unless we hve the situation that the local network IP schema is the same IP address as our server that we want to reach via the VPN.If our server is on a LAN network of 192.168.1.100 and we are on a Wifi netwok that is also setup to be 192.168.1.x then while our server is not on the local wifi network and we start the VPN then we find that the traffic to our desired server is not being routed over the VPN but going to the local wifi where of course we already know the server does not exist. Is there a way programmatically to force a route so that iOS will route traffic for this specific IP address down our VPN tunnel and not route it to the local network?

I do not recommend installing the Catalina beta 7. Earlier I installed the XCode beta 7 ( which when you go to About for it will tell you its Xcode beta 6, but the build number matches what they claim afor Beta 7 ). I installed the Xcode because I couldn't install apps I was testing on iPad ios 13.1 beta. Now that they released the Catalina Beta 7 I instllad it. It has totallly trashed my Xcode apparently... Nothing will open in editor, it says some files can't be found... its a nightmare. Did no one test this?
We can successfully open and use both a iPhone VPN IPSec connection and a Personal VPN IPSec connection within our app on iOS 12. When we try and establish the VPN on iOS 13 we wil get a connection ( either from a manual VPN connection or Personal VPN from within the app ) then we never get traffic then routed down the VPN tunnel. We are using IPSec with a shared secret for our VPN. Looking at the VPN server on Linux we can see that the connection was made but its always showing 0 bytes in and out for iOS 13. On iOS 12 everything works great. We've poured over the documentatin and cannot find anything where we can tell the networking to use the tunnel for all traffic. We also see the same problem now when we try anad establish a IPSec VPN connection on macOS Catalina. We can estalish IPSec VPN to our server on macOS Mojave, but it gives same effect of connecting under Catalina but no traffic is ruted then.

We have a VPN server running on Linux and have always successfully connected on iOS 12 and everything functions. With iOS 13 we can connect to the VPN server but then nothing seems to be routing. What has changed in under iOS 13 that would break the networking after it connects? Both manual and personal vpn connections will connect but then nothing seems to be routing under iOS 13, but works fine under iOS 12. Is there some additinal parameters that need to be set under iOS 13 when a connection to an IPSec VPN is started?
doodah.
