CocoaAsyncSocket via WiFi issue

[Matt Amirault]

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to networking, trying to add
CocoaAsyncSocket to an iPhone app.
Basically I run unmodified BonjourServer sample on an iPhone, and
BonjourClient sample on a MacBook. If I create WiFi network on my
MacBook and join this network from my iPhone, then it works, a client
(Mac) finds and connects to a server (iPhone). But if I create WiFi
network on another Mac and join this network from both iPhone and
Macbook, then client never finds a server. Is it supposed to be so? I
was under impression that while both devices are on the same network,
it should work (and normally other apps I tested are able to see each
other on this setup).

I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

This is actually a bonjour issue. There may be someone here with the answer, but I would encourage you to also try the bonjour related developer mailing lists at apple.

I encountered the same issue and Robbie is right: Turn off all Bonjour
(server/browsing) activities before connecting and it should work. I
am broadcasting a notification in my app before connecting on which
the bonjour class is listening. When it receives the notification
Bonjour discovery is stopped.

Bye,
Shukuyen.
