Receiving broadcast on Android

[RickPoleshuck]

I am able to receive udp broadcasts packets on my phone from a flutter app using UDP using the Android app NetPal. (I highly recommend this app for debugging issues network issues on an android.)
I am also able to receive unicast packets using UDP on my Android Flutter app.
However, I am not able receive udp packets that are broadcast with my Flutter app using UDP. My best guess is that I am missing a permission in my manifest.
Any suggestions?

I wanted to use UDP to send out a broadcast to the whole LAN at one time. I finally got it working, except that one of my switches on the LAN did not forward the broadcast UDP packet. I decided that UDP broadcast is just not useful with modern hardware. I switched to using the network_tools method scanDevicesForSinglePort which takes about one second to scan all the ports on my LAN. I know this won't work for every use case, but UDP broadcast is just not useful unless you manage every LAN that your program will be used on.

Interesting... thanks for the info.
