I managed to connect with my iPhone 8, but I had to rename it (I used my surname instead of “surname’s iPhone”...). I have only checked that I had video and steady blue light and headtracking, but I have not tried it in flight.

You can try, but you also should ensure that the config file on SC2 gets updated, e.g. via reinstalling the mod. Can you attach a screenshot of your iPhone's name? Settings -> General -> About -> Name, as well as the current conf/ssid file?

It would be interesting to have the copy of the configuration file you loaded in the Disco for the Skycontroller...

I tried with my iPhone 8xl/256gb ios13.1.3... and this time it stays magenta for ever... then I tried to connect with an other phone on the hotspot, and discovered it wasn’t working for it also... I even entered the ssid/password manually (ssid was not even displayed on the list of available networks...) but it didn’t work either... At some point, I disabled the authorization for non-iCloud users to connect to the hotspot, then enabled it again, which triggered an odd message requesting my approval to enable WiFi for users to connect to the hotspot... I pressed “ok” then my other phone was able to see the ssid and to connect to the hotspot, then after having switched the Skycontroller2 to WiFi and back to 4g mode... after ages... magenta turned blinking blue, then solid blue... video stream was s..t (I think I’m on reduced data rate on this data plan), but strangely glimpse reported direct connection and <>50ms latencies (not same apn as the Disco, though...). I think apple fucked the hotspot somehow... as I have not at all such weird behavior with my old Samsung s6 edge+... when I start the hotspot on the Samsung, the magenta light start blinking blue after seconds, then solid blue , then video stream a few seconds later... I was not too confident about my iPhone (as I have to restart the WiFi many times during a single evening while watching YouTube (it looks like I’m connected to my home WiFi... but streaming is stopped, until I switch WiFi off/on)), then I never used it to actually fly my disco... I think I will not use it for 4g either. (Or maybe like Dustin Dunnil... he uses an Android phone for the hotspot and an iPad for FreeFlight/Auriga). I hope it helped... if other users could share their point of view about iPhone/hotspots I would be interested.

yeah, but I can't see what the conf/ssid file is currently set to on your screenshots

Least issues with iOS devices as long as users follow the two tips here https://github.com/uavpal/disco4g/wiki/faq#wififail

were do i turn that(authorization for non-iCloud) on and off

were do i turn that(authorization for non-iCloud) on and off

It is the toggle just above the password field (in the hotspot parameters). To be precise, I switch off WiFi on the control center (when you slide up from the bottom of the screen, where there are sliders for volume, the light, etc) and then also in the parameters (as it is still ON after having put it OFF on the control center... ), THEN I put ON the non-iCloud users authorization toggle in the hotspot menu (if it was ON already, I switch it OFF then ON again), which triggers a pop-up box requiring activation of the WiFi, I tap on it to agree... it seems to reset properly the hotspot enough for the Skycontroller2 to connect on it... (if ssid and password are matching those you configured in the files that you uploaded in the disco...)

All you need to do is "Allow Others to Join" under Settings -> Personal Hotspot

iPhone is no issue, trust me. You can use the Home Wifi, but I strongly suggest to get it to work on your phone first. Ping me on Slack when you're online. I will run you through a set of commands to find out what is currently configured on your SC2.

APN does not change if you want to use Home Wi-Fi, as the APN is set on the Disco.

help me my problem is that once the connection shares from my pocophone the SC2 does not connect: "no apparatus connected" on ZEROTIER the disco is online: the SC2 is difficultly connectable issue; is there a way to connect the SC2 via USB cable to the network ???????
