ios - Is NSNetService only works with .local domain? -

i have code cocoahttpserver publishes service using bonjour. , tt uses nsnetservice this.

it works fine (both on os x , ios) if define domain ".local". however, if define else, doesn't publish service , doesn't phone call delegate didn't publish server.

i investigated , found next info.

documentation nsnetservice class:

this class , nsnetservicebrowser class utilize multicast dns convey info network services , application.

documentation bonjour domain names

on bonjour systems, local. used indicate name should looked using ip multicast query on local ip network.

do understand correctly nsnetservice class can work .local domain , can't work wide-area bonjour (different domains)?

p.s. if not missing anything, plan contact apple, because it's unusual have argument 1 right value , other wrong (and not reported through errors)

nsnetservice work domains other local..

before publishing service, utilize nsnetservicebrowser , - (void)searchforregistrationdomains find suitable registration domains.

apple's nsnetservices , cfnetservices programming guide contains section including sample code: browsing domains.
