Cannot broadcast messages

[0x0c]

Hello, I use SwiftOSC to broadcast messages, but I cannot receive my computer.
The computer and my iPhone connects same wifi.
Sending messages to specific ip address is works.

Is there any workaround?

I’m sorry I don’t quite understand. Could you be more specific?

The computer and the iPhone joined same network.
Its network address is 192.168.1.0, and my app runs on the iPhone send messages to 192.168.1.255 as known as broadcast address.
I think my computer receive messages, however no messages received.
Instead of broadcasting, send specific address like 192.168.1.100 which is the computer's address, it works.

I found public func enableBroadcast() in UDPClient and I edit var client: UDPClient to public in OSCClient.swift at line 16.
Then, call func enableBroadcast() before call public func send(_ element: OSCElement) in OSCClient, it works.

Sorry for my broken English :(

I describe a detail of my workaround below.

First, in OSCClient.swift, I change like this

then, send message like this

let client = OSCClient(address: ipAddress, port: port)
client.client.enableBroadcast()
client.send(OSCMessage(...))

Is there any reason without call enableBroadcast()?

So is it working now? The UDP socket code that I’m using is not my own so it’s really hard for me to know exactly what the problem is. I’m working on a new version using Apple’s Network framework but I don’t know if broadcast is supported. What you can do is swap out the socket code in SwiftOSC with something else you’re more familiar with. Probably not the answer you want but I don’t know what else to say.

Yes, currently it works, but need to edit SwiftOSC, so it is not convenient when using cocoa pods.
Is it possible to merge my code when I send pull request?

[devinroth]

Yeah I’d be willing to do that. The only thing you changed was made the UDPClient public right? Devin

Yes, my workaround is that made the UDPClient public.
I think this change is not good for broadcast messages, because it needs to call client.client.enableBroadcast() before send a message.
I'll edit another way to make more convenient, after that I'll send pull request.

I send pull request, plz check it ;)
