hotspot creation failed

[pierretuaillon]

Hi hypery2k,

We try to launch your example but "hotspot creation failed ", we have add permission like you in the file androidManifest and we try to change $scope.config.mode but it's always the same message.

Finally on android version 5.1 it's ok but not on 6.0

Thank you

[hypery2k]

can you try with 1.2.9?

       });
      loading.present();
     this.hotspot.createHotspot('smashcuff','WPA_PSK','123456789').then(() => {

any updates on this ? I can't create hotspot too even I have this in permissions

< uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />

[hypery2k]

the plugin is discontinued, so I will not maintain this repo anymore

not working on Android 7. This shouldn't be listed on Ionic Native even if it is marked as Beta since months

Seems a permission bug.

[RafayelArmeni]

So I faced with the same issue but I fixed it so In android 6.0 and 7.0 there is "Modify system settings" or "Apps that can change system settings" . You have to enable that setting to give permission for wifi hotspot to make changes.
