Can not connect to ESP32 Broker using DNS from phone

as in title, I can not connect to ESP32 Broker using DNS from phone
Background
I am creating a MQTT broker on ESP32 using https://github.com/mlesniew/PicoMQTTlibrary, and use https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... /ESPmDNS.hlib so I can access it via hostname instead of IP address. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

#include <PicoMQTT.h>
#include <ESPmDNS.h>

#define WIFI_SSID "myWifi"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "myPassword"


class MQTT: public PicoMQTT::Server {
    protected:
        PicoMQTT::ConnectReturnCode auth(const char * client_id, const char * username, const char * password) override {
            // only accept client IDs which are 3 chars or longer
            if (String(client_id).length() < 3) {    // client_id is never NULL
                return PicoMQTT::CRC_IDENTIFIER_REJECTED;
            }


            // only accept connections if username and password are provided
            if (!username || !password) {  // username and password can be NULL
                // no username or password supplied
                return PicoMQTT::CRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED;
            }


            // accept two user/password combinations
            if (
                ((String(username) == "alice") && (String(password) == "1"))
                || ((String(username) == "bob") && (String(password) == "password"))) {
                return PicoMQTT::CRC_ACCEPTED;
            }


            // reject all other credentials
            return PicoMQTT::CRC_BAD_USERNAME_OR_PASSWORD;
        }
} mqtt;


void setup() {
  // Setup serial
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Connect to WiFi
  Serial.printf("Connecting to WiFi %s\n", WIFI_SSID);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { delay(1000); }
  Serial.printf("WiFi connected, IP: %s\n", WiFi.localIP().toString().c_str());

  if (!MDNS.begin("esp32")) {
    Serial.println("Error setting up MDNS responder!");
    while(1){
        delay(1000);
    }
  }
  // Subscribe to a topic pattern and attach a callback
  mqtt.subscribe("#", [](const char* topic, const char* payload) {
    Serial.printf("Received message in topic '%s': %s\n", topic, payload);
  });
  mqtt.begin();
}

void loop() {
  mqtt.loop();
  if (random(1000) == 0){
    mqtt.publish("picomqtt/welcome", "Hello from PicoMQTT!");
  }
}

Current results
On my computer, using Mosquitto:

mosquitto_pub -h esp32 -t "test/topic" -m "Hello from mosquitto_pub!" -u "alice" -P "1"

mosquitto_pub -h <The ESP32 IP address> -t "test/topic" -m "Hello from mosquitto_pub!" -u "alice" -P "1"

Both of the above works, esp32 prints out the message.
Problem statement
So I tried to move to my phone, using the IOT MQTT panel app https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... prod&hl=en When i connect using the Ip address, fine, it works and can pulish message

But when I changed to "esp32" or "esp32.local" , it says can not connect, how?...

mDNS name resolution is not available by default on (most) Android, so unless your mqtt client (or phone) specifically supports it, this is not going to be possible.
