Testing WAC & HomeKit

I'm currently developing a HomeKit app to talk with our smart home device and I'm having a tough time deciphering how the HomeKit device will get onto a network. My understanding is that the Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC) protocol handles this interaction. I'm currently using the HomeKit Accessory Simulator for testing purposes & the EAWifiUnconfiguredAccessoryBrowser doesn't see any of the Simulator's devices. So is there anyway I can test the WAC process without an actual device yet, and how can I integrate this seamlessly with a HomeKit device setup process?

Yes it's handled by WAC. Unfortunately, WAC requires that you have control over your device's low-level Wi-Fi functions, so it can't be done at the application level. You will need to join MFi program to get the docs for it. Not sure how much else I can divulge without falling foul of MFi NDA so I'll stop here.
