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

joinAccessoryHotspot does not take a configuration parameter.

Always the same problem. Does not stop.

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

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.

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.

Can we get this on iOS?

Still broken in iOS 26.
