Description

Basically title. I was trying to find an mDNS plugin that would work on iOS. Initially tried network_tools but it throws an exception and then I stumbled upon this package and the discussions/PRs regarding ios.

I've tried version 1.0.5 and 2.0.2 on both platforms and no device is found. network_tools 5.0.2 works on Android

Research direction

Start by reproducing mDNS discovery with network_tools_flutter versions 1.0.5 and 2.0.2 on Android and iOS, comparing the reported behavior with network_tools 5.0.2 on Android. Trace why no devices are returned on either mobile platform; done means the plugin discovers available mDNS devices on Android and iOS without throwing an exception.
