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);
