Disable Wi-Fi Assist when app is connected to specific Wi-Fi
Hello, I have an app that talks with physical device over Wi-Fi. The app can send commands and receives a stream of data from it. This commutation happens over Wi-Fi (which has no access to the internet) As a result OS will throw Wi-Fi Assist alert, and offer switch to cellular data. How to avoid this alert? In my scenario if user disconnects from Wi-Fi, he loses access to physical device. In About Wi-Fi Assist - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205296 it is mentioned Wi-Fi Assist doesn’t activate with some third-party apps that stream audio or video, or download attachments, like an email app, as they might use large amounts of data. Well my app does download large amount of data from the device. Could my app be eligible for this exception?
