I connect to a device's WiFi hotspot to control the external device. The device WiFi does not provide internet/data for the iOS device. The popup that asks if the user wants to use Cellular Data disrupts the usage of my app/device and can cause serious problems by disrupting the user's control of the device.
Is there a way to prevent it from happening, prompt it to happen immediately, or to do it myself and tell the NEHotspotConfigurationManager to use Cellular Data or not since the WiFi network won't be providing internet access?

Add a CommentConfirmed no way to do this. Please submit your own bug report for this. Duplicate question I asked a year later without realizing it: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/696320
Right, that post does explain the state of this situation.
