Multipeer Connectivity vs Personal Hotspot

Hi!


It appears that Multipeer Connectivity cannot be used between 2 devices where one acts as a Personal Hotspot and the other connects to that hotspot.

I see the other device, but attempts to connect fail.


Under the same setup Air Drop shows a message saying that Air Drop cannot be used with Personal Hotspot. I assue the same restriction applies to Multipeer Connectivity.


Is there a way to detect the situation so I can show a message to the user?

Is this a bug: Multipeer Connectivity discovers peers it cannot actually connect to?
