UDP broadcast in an iOS app using Adobe Flash

Question

I am writing an iOS app that requires NetBIOS name resolution. It is straightforward to code using the DatagramSocket class in ActionScript. But unfortunately, for a NetBIOS request, the UDP packet needs to be sent out as a broadcast, and DatagramSocket does not support this.

Is there a solution for this in Flash/ActionScript? Is the solution an iOS native extension? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The solution was in fact a native extension. This one is confirmed to be capable of UDP broadcasts.
