Still broken in iOS 26.

Can we get this on iOS?

It's happening all over in Xcode 16. It broke first in Xcode 13, when Swift 5.5 introduced async/await based on coroutines in LLVM. It was broken for almost two years until Xcode 15 shipped with a combination of lldb that worked. It broke again in Xcode 16. That bugs like this have no #1 priority in Apple's development team speaks volumes.

Same here. CarPlay kills established WiFi connections which are in use. This is completely unacceptable API behavior and a critical bug in my opinion. Since not being a CarPlay app, we can't even find out whether we are connected to CarPlay or not (thus being able to warn the user). I have opened a feedback item. Please do so as well.

Same here. I reckon it‘s just another bug in the stack. Permissions aside, it‘s hit and miss.

Always the same problem. Does not stop.

joinAccessoryHotspot does not take a configuration parameter.

Why is this API not available on iOS? We can use ethernet interfaces with iOS.

The answer in this case is plist keys. Here's the deal: While the old location APIs with CLLocationManager had runtime assertions for checking the required NSLocation{xyz}UsageDescription keys ­– thus crashing, if they were not present ­– the new APIs just silently ignore missing usage descriptions. Please consider the case closed ­– other than considering better diagnostics for this case as a feature request.

9 years later and it's still a problem.

The problem was a corrupted empty project created by Xcode. It did NOT include the necessary iOS stub target (which seems to be important for deployment, even for a watch-only watchOS app). With another Xcode version this worked.

Even 9 years after this doesn't seem to be available.

Same problem… ridiculous state of the tools.
