OnReceivedBroadcast not called on Android/iOs devices when acting as a client
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open "SimpleRepo.zip" project
2. Build for device (Android/iOS)
3. Launch the build on the phone and go to play mode in the editor
4. Set the device as the server and the editor as the client
5. Observe it working with messages being sent and received
6. Now set the Editor as the server and the device as the client
7. Observe no connection being made
Actual: The device should be able to connect as the client to the editor
Expected: Something seems to prevent the OnReceivedBroadcast event from happening

Seems like it is not really a bug. Looks like this new permission was required for "Multiplayer HLAPI" package, for some reasons got installed by default in unity 2019. Removing this package solves the issue with new permission.

Can confirm this happening on HTC U11 and SamsungGalaxy S5 as well. Both devices are connected to the same LAN network via Wi-Fi. OnReceivedBroadcast is not called on the devices at all. If I test this with PC builds on different machines, connected to the same network, OnReceivedBroadcast is being called.

I have observed this issue, but only for SOME ANDROID devices -- specifically the Pixel 2 and the Moto E (second generation). I have not observed it on any iOS device, though. It is a HIGH SEVERITY issue for those devices that it affects, because it completely prevents NetworkDiscovery from working for those devices.
It seems Unity may not be setting the CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE permission for Android, nor acquiring Android's MulticastLock, both of which are apparently necessary for SOME Android devices:
