mDNS doesn't appear to be reporting a hostname?

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of esp32-wifi-manager
• I have searched open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported

Description

I'm looking for esp32 (appears to be default value) on my network but I'm not able to find it. I don't think mDNS is working. Is there a magic incantation?

Steps to Reproduce

Build, include in your project, try to access esp32.local (or whatever is required on your network).

System Configuration

esp-idf v4.2
DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1

• Environment (Operating system, version and so on):
  MacOS 10.15.7

• Additional information:

Well, it appears that the call wifi_manager_initialise_mdns() isn't implemented so I implemented my own, which I call when I receive WM_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP. Strange thing is. I'm now able to ping myhostname.local but when I point my browser to myhostname.local, it returns the AP address 10.10.0.1. Any ideas why?

Fantastic project! I should have added. Thank you!

I'm not sure how to read this but there is a response in HTTP from the esp32 (.126) claiming that the "Location:" is 10.10.0.1 (from Wireshark)? I'm not sure where this is coming from. The AP should be down? Any ideas?

I'm not sure this is normal but it appears that the interface is still configured as both STA and AP? Could this be why I get the AP address? I would think the AP mode should be disabled since it's in STA mode and has an IP.

Code I changed in esp-idf/mdns.c:

            // if local netif copy is NULL, try to search for the default interface key
            if (tcpip_if == MDNS_IF_STA) {
                s_esp_netifs[MDNS_IF_STA] = esp_netif_get_handle_from_ifkey("WIFI_STA_DEF");

ESP_LOGI("mDNS", "%s: STA is netifs", __func__);
            } else if (tcpip_if == MDNS_IF_AP) {
                s_esp_netifs[MDNS_IF_AP] = esp_netif_get_handle_from_ifkey("WIFI_AP_DEF");

ESP_LOGI("mDNS", "%s: AP is netifs", __func__);

#if CONFIG_ETH_ENABLED
            } else if (tcpip_if == MDNS_IF_ETH) {
                s_esp_netifs[MDNS_IF_ETH] = esp_netif_get_handle_from_ifkey("ETH_DEF");
#endif
            }

Output on console:

(7945) HTTP_SVR: Start mDNS on station.

(7965) mDNS: _mdns_get_esp_netif: AP is netifs
