Network layer concerns on Apple iOS

MongoDB Atlas App Services & Realm Atlas Device Sync
1

Hello. I am evaluating Device Sync for adoption in iOS app, and from what I can tell the implementation is based on BSD socket, the least recommended option on Apple platforms.

Can someone confirm this is the case, and point to discussion/article/source how the issues of BSD socket on iOS are addressed, listed in TN3151:

  • no support for on-demand connections, such as VPN On Demand
  • connect-by-name semantics, Happy Eyeballs RFC 8305
  • support both IPv4 and IPv6. Test on an IPv6-only network.
  • use the system DNS resolver, getaddrinfo
  • add your own TLS implementation
  • once you’ve established a connection, use SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddressPair to monitor its viability.

Thank you.
