interop.Reference() issues

[matty0005]

I'm in the process of updating a copy of 'nativescript-zeroconf' plugin for NS7, and long story short, i can't acquire IP addresses. After some digging around, i found that this line was the root of my issues:

let socket_address = new interop.Reference(sockaddr_in, socketData.bytes).value;
console.log(socket_address); // <Pointer: 0x6000033c8350>

This line of code used to work in NS6 with the old runtime, but now it just seems to return the pointer without been able to access any properties of the pointer.

eg, this used to work in NS6 returned 2 (AF_INET), but now returns undefined:

console.log(socket_address.sin_family) // undefined
