Thank you for the quick response and for sharing the link—it's been very helpful. Rationale for the prohibition of Wi-Fi : There is a need to support peer-to-peer communication between iOS devices in a closed environment without cellular service, relying on a satellite-based Wi-Fi connection that is intermittent and unreliable. Assuming the necessary traffic (RFC 6762) properly configured, my understanding is that proposed peer-to-peer communication using the Network framework (or using Multipeer connectivity framework) would be able to maintain connections between devices when: Devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network The Wi-Fi network itself has no internet connectivity Devices can only communicate locally via the Wi-Fi access point And Bluetooth communication would not be necessary to meet this. Could you please confirm this understanding? Also, considering above scenario, would a WebSocket-based connection be sufficient compared to a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi solution? Also appreciate if you could share sample codes(if available) using the Network framework for better understanding of end to end configurations. Thank you.
