This is my original answer that is written in Swift - iOS 14 How to trigger Local Network dialog and check user answer? and you can use it from objc as well without any effort.
But if you have a pure ObjC project and don't want to add swift files this is the similar approach that works the same:
// LocalNetworkPrivacy.h
#interface LocalNetworkPrivacy : NSObject
- (void)checkAccessState:(void (^)(BOOL))completion;
#end
// LocalNetworkPrivacy.m
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "LocalNetworkPrivacy.h"
#interface LocalNetworkPrivacy () <NSNetServiceDelegate>
#property (nonatomic) NSNetService *service;
#property (nonatomic) void (^completion)(BOOL);
#property (nonatomic) NSTimer *timer;
#property (nonatomic) BOOL publishing;
#end
#implementation LocalNetworkPrivacy
- (instancetype)init {
if (self = [super init]) {
self.service = [[NSNetService alloc] initWithDomain:#"local." type:#"_lnp._tcp." name:#"LocalNetworkPrivacy" port:1100];
}
return self;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[self.service stop];
}
- (void)checkAccessState:(void (^)(BOOL))completion {
self.completion = completion;
self.timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:2 repeats:YES block:^(NSTimer * _Nonnull timer) {
if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.applicationState != UIApplicationStateActive) {
return;
}
if (self.publishing) {
[self.timer invalidate];
self.completion(NO);
}
else {
self.publishing = YES;
self.service.delegate = self;
[self.service publish];
}
}];
}
#pragma mark - NSNetServiceDelegate
- (void)netServiceDidPublish:(NSNetService *)sender {
[self.timer invalidate];
self.completion(YES);
}
#end
How to use:
LocalNetworkPrivacy* localNetworkPrivacy = [LocalNetworkPrivacy new];
[localNetworkPrivacy checkAccessState:^(BOOL granted) {
NSLog(#"Granted: %#", granted ? #"YES" : #"NO");
}];
NOTE: You must set NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription and add "_lnp._tcp." to NSBonjourServices into your Info.plist.
