AirPlay Receiver in macOS Monterey prevents aspnet core apps from launching in vscode

October 25, 2021 Leave a comment

Monterey uses TCP:5000 by default for a system process which stops aspnet core apps from starting properly as configured in launch.json in all of our aspnet core projects in vscode because that is the default template.

It turns out the process listening to TCP:5000 is ControlCenter — which is the thing in the menubar for toggling settings. But it also is apparently the process that implements the new “AirPlay Receiver” feature in Monterey — which I didn’t even know existed.

$ lsof -i TCP:5000 -P +c 0
COMMAND         PID    USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ControlCenter 33966 breiter   35u  IPv4 0x67ea478e699d1bad      0t0  TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)
ControlCenter 33966 breiter   36u  IPv6 0x67ea478e6a6607f5      0t0  TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)

The idea is that you can AirPlay music from your iphone to your computer and have the audio come out of the speakers that are connected to the computer. I don’t have any use for this feature. The quick fix is to go into System Preferences > Sharing and disable “AirPlay Receiver”. Long term, it’s probably simplest to migrate away from TCP:5000 as the default for HTTP .vscode/launch.json for aspnet core projects.
