For some time now it's not been possible to discover local wifi games - they simply do not show up, by contrast wired games are discovered just fine by all clients.
This has not been a problem untill the better together update as you could just add the local IP in the server tab and join that way.
But now that requires an Xbox live and permissions to join servers - please enable local adhoc games again.
This has been tested and confirmed on a two Ipad minis, 3 android phones and a android tablet.

Adding to the confusion sometimes non local servers appears in the "friends" tab ( I'm not logged into Xbox live )
I'd really appreciate if this bug could get some attention as local play has been 90% of the fun in this game for us

secondary bug; if you added an ip in servers then local games from that ip wont show up in the friends tab
I'm having the same issue. Before the October 18th update I was able to do LAN games between my Xbox and an Android device. (and vice versa)
For some reason now, it only works one way. I can start a world up on my Xbox and it will be discoverable on my phone, but if I start a world up on my phone it will not be discoverable on my Xbox.
Like I said, this was not the case prior to this past week's bug fix update.
