Hi

My first project in mobile development, please forgive my ignorance for mobile development.

So far I have been using this plugin to connect a wifi device via an andriod phone.

I saw this below comment for the read me: "iOS has limited functionality, as Apple's WifiManager equivalent is only available as a private API. Any app that used these features would not be allowed on the app store. The only function availabe for iOS is getCurrentSSID."

Does this mean at this stage I can't connect a wifi access point on ios using this plugin? Are there any future plans to make this available?

Regards, Savan

Hi Savan, You are correct, you can't use this plugin to connect an iPhone to a Wi-Fi network. As far as I know there are no plans to add full support for iOS in the future as there is no public API access to the Wi-Fi service available in iOS. Cheers

Thank you lepermunna

This helps me make a decision on how to keep my app flow based on ios and andriod.
