Hi,
I have noticed an issue with the NEHotspotConfigurationManager.
I tested using iphone 8 plus.
using the following code
let configuration = NEHotspotConfiguration.init(ssid: "SSIDname", passphrase: "Password", isWEP: false)
configuration.joinOnce = true
NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(configuration) { (error) in
if error != nil {
if error?.localizedDescription == "already associated."
{
print("Connected")
}
else{
print("No Connected")
}
}
else {
print("Connected")
}
}it returns "Not Connected", but if you observer the phones screen you see that the wifi does in fact connect to the network a second or two after.
could someone let me now if they also see this? I made sure to "forget" the network details before running this.
Thank you
To understand what’s going on here you need to understand a little bit about how this API works.
NEHotspotConfigurationManagerNEHotspotConfigurationManagerNEHotspotConfigurationManagerYou can’t be guaranteed that the device has actually joined the Wi-Fi network by the time your completion handler is called. In fact this won’t be the case most of the time.
If there’s an error joining the Wi-Fi network, that error is reported to the user, not via your completion handler.
If these behaviours cause problems for you in practice — and I can totally see how they might — you should feel free to file a bug report (or enhancement request, depending on your perspective :-) against
NEHotspotConfigurationManagerPlease post your bug number, just for the record.
Finally, even once the device has joined the Wi-Fi network, it can still take time for it to get an IP address, meaning you won’t necessarily be able to communicate over the Wi-Fi network for a while. In your other thread I suggested that you use Bonjour to find your accessory, and this is one of the reasons why. Once the device has joined the accessory’s Wi-Fi network and got an IP address, Bonjour will automatically find your accessory’s service. If you don’t use Bonjour then you have to deal with all of that complexity yourself.
