Issues with triggering Airport WAC setup in the app on iOS 14.2(Beta4)

We are working with BLE based HomeKit accessory which supports Homekit specification R7. For WiFi provisioning, we are using the native legacy WAC process.

In our iOS application, we are using the "configureAccessory" method of the ExternalAccessoryFramework for triggering the WAC process after HomeKit BLE pairing. Here is the Apple documentation of this method [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/externalaccessory/eawifiunconfiguredaccessorybrowser/1613907-configureaccessory]

Until iOS version 14.1, the above method is working fine. However, in the 14.2 Beta4 version, this method doesn't invoke the Airport setup UI for the WAC configuration process.

Hello,

We are experiencing the same problem on the latest iOS public release 14.2.

We hope Apple will fix this soon, as dropping the native legacy WAC process was not in their plans for iOS 14.2

Meanwhile, we are working on a workaround for our users : by explaining them how to do the WAC process by themeselves, via the iOS Settings app, then Wifi and configure the new accessory showing there.



Yeah, we're having the same issue on the public release of iOS 14.2.
Did any of you resolve this independently or open a ticket with Apple?
