[WAN] - Apple has now allowed game streaming over WAN

[Madmegsox1]

Suggested Feature
Build and publish Moonlite to allow for wan connections.

I understand this issue has been created before (#417 (comment)) but that was rased in 2020 and inlight of recent events, apple have allowed game streaming in applications.

Quite an easy fix just remove this from project file and publish:

moonlight-ios/Moonlight.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Line 1354 in 7465835

Will it be realized?

@YamadaHideki I think the maintainer of the repo is waiting... Due to the fact that the app could in fact get banned or suspended if he doesn't stick to apples guide lines. It should be good to go but obviously a bit of caution is never a bad thing.

Technically, this was always an option, regardless of recent changes to game streaming policies, I mean, you could always wan stream your own ps5 and xbox consoles to their corresponding apps in the app store, what would be different here? we are still streaming our own devices. for this policy to actually be meaningful sunlight would have to be a paid service independent of any devices we may have.

Look, Apple's Moonlight app does not support direct streaming from an IPv4 public address; it only supports an IPv4 address on a local network.

However, there are no such restrictions for IPv6, so you just need to adjust your IPv4 address to display it in the IPv6 format.

For example, if your IPv4 address is 112.113.114.115, you just need to change it to [::ffff:112.113.114.115]. Then, when adding the host, enter the modified address [::ffff:112.113.114.115] (including the brackets), and you'll be able to stream smoothly.

Or, use my fork, easy installation by TestFlight, no jailbreak, sideloading required:

I revoke the limitation for WAN ipv4, and there're a bunch of additional features
