The only restriction I know of is on iOS. iOS does not allow unencrypted http connections unless you tic the "Disable ATS" in the standalone settings. I know this applies to URLS using the browser control and "put/get url" in scripts but don't know if it also applies to sockets.
If the mobile app was to be the server side of sockets how would you connect to it? What would be the URL?

On the desktop, most OSes at least provide some means of requiring explicit admin permission to allow an app to open a TCP port for listening. What restrictions are imposed by iOS and Android for similar security? In the Android settings for LC's Standalone Builder, does the "Internet" permission cover both client and server roles? That seems a bit broad to me, but in my brief searching this morning I haven't yet turned up how each mobile OS restricts apps from allowing connections from the open Internet. Any guidance on this would be appreciate.
