Hi,
I'm working in a "corporate environment" for my day job. The network admins in our company take their jobs very seriously and seem to dislike Bonjour a lot. This means getting both the phone and the Mac onto the same network is a pain and Bonjour is out of the question.
I would like to kindly ask you to use the multipeer connectivity framework for the remote, which works fine in my environment.
