HTTP services on macOS warn generate a warning about missing Netty MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider

[pcholakov]

We currently do not include a runtime dependency on Netty's macOS-specific DNS resolver package, which causes the following warning on startup:

2023-12-11 11:54:31 WARN   io.netty.resolver.dns.DnsServerAddressStreamProviders - Can not find io.netty.resolver.dns.macos.MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider in the classpath, fallback to system defaults. This may result in incorrect DNS resolutions on MacOS. Check whether you have a dependency on 'io.netty:netty-resolver-dns-native-macos'

This doesn't seem to be causing examples to break in an obvious way but there are probably cases where it is desirable to use the native resolver config.

We may address this by including something like the following in our examples' project Gradle config:

plugins {
  // ...
  id("com.google.osdetector") version "1.7.0"
}

dependencies {
  // ...

  if (osdetector.os == "osx") {
    runtimeOnly("io.netty:netty-resolver-dns-native-macos:4.1.72.Final:osx-${osdetector.arch}")
  }
}  

Since ARM-architecture macOS is likely going to be a common development platform, we may wish to fix this purely to suppress the WARN noise even if it doesn't break anything.

Can we close this? this is quite old now

I saw this is still happening, i wonder if we can do something here with gradle at least, that will pull the dep in automatically when you're on macos
