Technically the answer is yes. Realistically the answer is much more complicated. LabVIEW is fully capable of creating a UDP listener and receiving data over UDP. The problems you will most likely run into are not LabVIEW issues but network infrastructure issues. If your phone and application are on the same network and subnet you shouldn't have any problems. If they are both on the same network but different subnets you may run into some issues with how the network is configured. You may run into some firewall issues. If you are crossing network boundaries you will definitely run into firewall issues and you will need to get your IT folks involved.
