Wi-Fi Aware behavior when Wi-Fi is off [iOS 26.6]
Hello, QQ for the Wi-Fi/Accessories team. Is the expectation that Wi-Fi Aware will work properly when the iPhone has Wi-Fi off either in settings or control center? I am able to reproduce errors where it does not work properly if the Wi-Fi on the phone is turned off. Please let me know best practices Using iPhone 17 pro on iOS 26.6

Wi-Fi Aware UpgradeAuthorization Failing
Hello! I have an accessory, which is paired already with an iPhone, and am attempting to upgrade its SSID permission to Wi-Fi Aware. In ideal conditions, it works perfectly. However, if I dismiss the picker at the time of pin-code entry, I am unable to re-initialize an upgrade authorization picker. Even though the authorization is not completed a WAPairedDeviceID is assigned to the object of 18446744073709551615. Any subsequent attempts to start the picker up again spits out when treated as a failure serves: [ERROR] updateAuthorization error=Error Domain=ASErrorDomain Code=450 "No new updates detected from existing accessory descriptor." Attempting with a mutated descriptor serves: [ERROR] updateAuthorization error=Error Domain=ASErrorDomain Code=450 "Accessory cannot be upgraded with given descriptor." If I try using failAuthorization i get a 550 "Invalid State" error and furthermore if I try finishAuthorization to attempt to clear the descriptor/paired device ID it fails to clear it. If I could be pointed to the intended behavior on how to handle this, or this can be acknowledged as a bug, that would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
