How to getHostName in swift?

[ChoiSeungchan]

I tried get hostname in this code

func lanScanDidFindNewDevice(device: Device!) {
// print("This is Device : "+"(device)")
//Adding the found device in the array
if(device.brand.containsString("Apple")){
print("DeviceInfo : "+"(device.macAddressLabel())"+"(device.hostname)\n")
}
self.connectedDevices?.append(device)
}

but hostName is "nil"

I using swift 2.2 and xcode 7 and also I am beginner developer so I need your help
please tell me how can I get HostName

I also met this question, Did you solved it?

Hi,
The getHostname function was not built by me. I noticed also that in some networks (eg. a network with Active Directory) shows the hostnames and in others is not showing. I think it has something to do with the type of DNS. If you find a more solid getHostname function please let me know or send me a pull request.

Perhaps using MDNS or NBNS requests... I'll look into that.

I am facing the same issue, hostname getting empty on specific networks . Any solution? @Ketan-Wadyalkar @fukemy @Sofianebenabdallah

[fukemy]

hostname does not important than MAC address, after ios 11.4 this library does not help to get MAC, so i decided to leave

[HussainTechGee]

Thanks for your significant time @fukemy .please recommend any other library for same functionality if you know about that

[fukemy]

sorry i am trying to find the library like that :(

Anyone found any solution for getting host name?

[fukemy]

no solution here bro, the only way is searching for onvif camera ios

[tanvishah912]

@fukemy But how other apps on app store are able to get host names like Fing, Net Analyzer?

[fukemy]

may be it's were not blocked by Apple, i think so.

[Sofianebenabdallah]

Hey, last time I did it it was 2 years ago. Unfortunately, Apple blocked these data. I got these data from mdns. You may need to merge mmlan and mdns data

@Sofianebenabdallah can you give me a lead how to get data from mdns/mmlan.
