Overview

This PR addresses the error ERR internal/homekit/homekit.go:128 > error="no interfaces for listen" on macOS when running the application without root privileges.

Problem

The mDNS client was failing to bind to network interfaces, resulting in the error mentioned above. This typically occurred when specific network interfaces were not available or the address was already in use.

Solution

  • Address Reuse Handling:

    • Added a check for the "address already in use" error, allowing the loop to continue and try other interfaces.
  • Fallback for No Interfaces:

    • Implemented a fallback mechanism to use the system's default network interface if specific interfaces are not available.

Impact

These changes ensure that the mDNS client can gracefully handle common networking issues on macOS, improving reliability when the application is run without root privileges.
Fixes #1225
