i'm trying to setup a point-to-point ethernet connection between one Android phone and one iOS phone.
both devices have a USB-C port, so i'm plugging two USB-C Ethernet adapters, one for each phone, and an ethernet cable connecting both.
since there is no DHCP available, i expect both devices to get a private IP, using the APIPA specifications, in the 169.254.0.0/16 address space.
i see the iPhone getting the IP as expected, but the Android phone isn't: i don't see any IP assigned in the Settings / About phone / Status information page, where i see the mac address of the ethernet adapter.
adapter, cable and phone are working fine, getting a proper IP if i connect them to a network that has a DHCP server.
by Android documentation, APIPA should be supported and working, but it does not seem the case here.
does anyone have experience on that?
