title: How to make networked software aware of itself?
body: <p>I have an Android and iOS app that I would like to be accessible through PC software.  Currently, the mobile application will display an IP address and the PC user must manually type this number in to create a connection.</p>
  
  <p>I know there is some sort of broadcasting standards, but I'm having trouble figuring out what method make sense in my case.</p>
  
  <p>A solution that works for both Android (native activity, version >= 2.3.3) and iOS would be ideal.</p>
