Cannot connect to rosetta drone from external device

[alexbhandari]

Describe the bug

Have tried both QGC and MavSDK. Neither will connect to the app. I have my PC (M1 MacBook) and my phone running rosetta drone connected to the same wifi router. I have enabled connect from external GCS in the app. Looking through issues I see few others reporting similar but not seeing a resolution. E.g. #181 here they said they resolved by using QGC on the same device. From reading through issues, it seems QGC should detect and connect automatically. Does it search through all IP addresses on the network at this port to find rosetta drone? The 127.0.0.1 address shown in rosetta drone settings seems to just be localhost so I am confused about this as well.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Build app with DJI and google maps API keys filled
2. Load to phone
3. Plug phone to RC controller
4. Power on controller and drone
5. launch app and click drone button
6. go to setting in app and enable connect from external device
7. open QGC app on MacBook
8. It does not connect (displays disconnected)

After step 6, try changing the IP in RosettaDrone to your computer's IP. The field is situated right below the External GCS toggle. The default was a loopback for me (127.0.0.1).

You may also have to setup a connection to your phone in QGC.
