But the NMI and NDI of Samsung's Wi Fi Aware are not the same MAC address. May I ask Apple engineers why they are different from Samsung?

The Wi‑Fi Alliance’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication uses IPv6.
However, in Chapter 53 “Wi‑Fi Aware” of the Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices, Release R26, it is stated that “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported.”
This has caused confusion among developers: Does Apple’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication actually use IPv6?
What is the impact of “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported” in Apple’s implementation?
Is Apple's Wi-Fi Aware certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance?
Is there any non-compliance of Apple's Wi-Fi Aware with the Wi-Fi Alliance standards?
Does Apple have a roadmap to switch AWDL to Wi-Fi Aware?
Does Apple have plans to adopt Wi-Fi Aware in Mac computers?
Samsung's Quick Share uses Wi-Fi Aware to achieve one-to-many concurrent sharing.
Can Apple's Wi-Fi Aware achieve one-to-many concurrent sharing?
Apple's AirDrop does support one-to-many concurrent sharing.
This is the log on the publisher side.

At WWDC 25, Dr. Swetank mentioned, “DeviceDiscoveryUI is for making connections between apps and from an app to another device. It supports pairing with both Apple and third-party devices.” I find the pairing process in DeviceDiscoveryUI via Wi-Fi Aware intriguing. I have two questions:
Can we pair devices via Bluetooth first and then establish a Wi-Fi Aware connection?
If I use DeviceDiscoveryUI, how should I write an Android program to correspond with it and achieve iPhone-Android pairing?

I have two phones, an iPhone 12 and an iPhone 13, both with Bluetooth turned on and connected to the same WiFi. The devices paired successfully the first time, but after I reset the Wi-Fi identifier in Settings - Privacy & Security - Paired Devices, the devices could no longer pair. Specifically, one device displays a PIN input pop-up, but the other device does not show the PIN. What could be the reason for this?
Apple's Wi-Fi Aware demo shows that pairing is required before establishing a connection. Is this pairing mandatory? Can Android devices pair with Apple devices? My Android device strictly supports Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 and I want to achieve interoperability with Apple devices.
