Hello,
A quick background:
I am developing an App that receives a data stream from a device through its Wi-Fi network. The device itself is not connected to the internet, so the app won't be either.
Now, I am adding a new feature to the App that would require internet connection during the data stream. Consequently, my users would need to use their cellular data.
On later versions of iPhone, the phone would occasionally detect the lack of internet connection and asks the user via a pop-up if they want to use their cellular data. However, this behavior is not consistent.
So my question is- can we programmatically invoke this pop-up so the user can connect to the internet?
Or even better- can we program the App to use cellular data while still being connected to a Wi-Fi network?
Note:
I have seen mixed answers on the internet whether this is doable or not, and I know that users are able do it themselves by manually configuring their IP in their WiFi settings page, but I doubt this operation can be done through the App for security reasons.
Thanks!
