    • Not Evaluated
    • None
    • 5.15.15, 6.2.10, 6.5.3

    Description

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Run the "Broadcast Sender Example" (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtnetwork-broadcastsender-example.html ) on your development machine and the "Broadcast Receiver Example" (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtnetwork-broadcastreceiver-example.html ) on your iOS device
      2. Click "Start" on the sender
      3. Repeat the test above after swapping Sender and Receiver machines

       

      Outcomes

      • macOS -> iOS works fine: The broadcast messages are received (expected)
      • iOS -> macOS does not work: The broadcast messages are not received (not expected)

       

      Notes

      • My iOS Simulator (16.4) can send and receive broadcast messages without problems
      • The real iOS device does ask for networking permission when we start broadcasting (see attached screenshot). But the broadcast seems to fail even after allowing it
