New HomeKit devices won't connect to Wifi. Confirmed with Eero the devices are sending a bad password
Hi, I have a network with 20+ HomeKit devices and I am very familiar with the technical details here. I have three different brands of SmartPlugs that I cannot get to setup and connect to my Eero network. (WeMo, Meross, TP Link). All are failing to join the network. I spoke with Eero, and they confirmed that all of the devices are attempting to join but sending a bad password. It appears that Apple is passing off a bad password to these devices during the HomeKit setup process, and they never are able to join the Network. I am currently running iOS 16.1.1. I'm about to update to a beta to see if there is any difference there. The Wifi password do not contain any special characters. Does anyone have anymore troubleshooting insight here?

Migration Path for Existing Widgets to new Custom Intents
I have an interesting scenario that I can't seem to figure out with the existing Intent/Widget APIs. Scenario: Version 1.0: I have two widget types that shared a custom intent (because they both only needed the same configuration value (i.e., a theme)). These are different kinds of widgets Widget A, Custom Intent 1 Widget B, Custom Intent 1 Version 2.0 After getting the widgets into the hands of my users, it has become obvious that I need to provide some specific options to each widget kind moving forward. This means I would like to create two unique Custom Intents to house the specifics of the each customization option I would like to provide. I would like the end scenario to look like: Widget A, Custom Intent 2 Widget B, Custom Intent 3 I have no issue seeing how to create these intents and set them up. That is trivial. However, I can't seem to figure out an easy to migrate a user who has installed a widget from Version 1,0, and migrate it to a new Custom Intent. The widget just fails to load when I upgrade the app. Does anyone have any insight on how I could do this migration? I don't want to push an update that just bricks all the widgets for the Version 1.0 users, and require them to remove them and set them up again.
