Device testing showed iroh's unicast traffic never engages the iOS local-network permission, so the Swift guide explains that no Info.plist keys are needed by default and what changes once mDNS (presetN0WithMdns, iroh-ffi#240) is adopted: the usage-description key plus the multicast entitlement on iOS, and the manifest permission plus a WifiManager multicast lock on Android.

Companion to n0-computer/iroh-ffi#240, stacked on #57 (retarget to main once that merges).
Device testing showed iroh's unicast traffic never engages the iOS local-network permission: direct connections held on both LAN and public addresses with no
NSLocalNetworkUsageDescriptionkey, even with the Local Network toggle off. The Swift guide now explains why no Info.plist keys are needed by default, and both the Swift and Kotlin guides document what changes once mDNS discovery (presetN0WithMdns) is adopted: the usage-description key plus the multicast entitlement on iOS, andCHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATEplus aWifiManagermulticast lock on Android.
