Supporting bonjour service

[MojtabaHs]

I’m using the Firebase Local Emulator for my apps, and one of the pain points I regularly face is having to update the server’s local IP address every time it changes. Since I’m testing the app on real devices, using "localhost" isn’t an option.

It would be really helpful if I could use my local machine’s hostname instead of its IP address, for example, in the firebase.json or when setting the emulator connection in Swift code like this: useEmulator(withHost: "mojtaba.local", port: 9099)

Is there any existing support for this, or plans to enable it in the future? Alternatively, would it be possible for me to contribute to the Emulator to help support this feature?

Thanks!

No idea?

We don't currently have plans to support this service, but you're welcome to make contributions.

Is it open source? where can I find the repo of the local emulator?
