Usage

 
import { DNSSD } from 'react-native-dnssd';
 
const foundSub = DNSSD.addEventListener("serviceFound", (service) => {
    console.log("Service Found", service);
});
const lostSub = DNSSD.addEventListener("serviceLost", (service) => {
    console.log("Service Lost", service);
});
DNSSD.startSearch("airplay", "tcp");
 
setTimeout(() => {
    DNSSD.stopSearch();
    foundSub.remove();
    lostSub.remove();
}, 30000);
