Reply to Wi-Fi Aware between iOS 26 and Android device
1,In the Apple document "Accessory-Design-Guidelines.pdf", there is the following description: "Accessories and peer devices integrating Wi-Fi Aware technology shall support the Wi-Fi Aware Specification – Version 4.0". 2,In Android devices, it seems there is no direct way to find devices that comply with the "Wi-Fi Aware Specification – Version 4.0". However, through initial research, in Android, the method Characteristics.isAwarePairingSupported can indicate whether the pairing-related features in Version 4.0 are supported: /** Check if the Aware Pairing and all associated security features as defined in Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) Wi-Fi Aware Specification version 4.0 are supported. This includes:... */ public boolean isAwarePairingSupported() { return mCharacteristics.getBoolean(KEY_SUPPORT_NAN_PAIRING); } 3,On the Amazon Cloud Testing Platform, only the Android phone series Galaxy S25 was found where isAwarePairingSupported shows YES (the Pixel 9 series and Xiaomi 14 series phones do not work). 4,However, pairing between Apple iOS 26 phones and the Android Galaxy S25 still doesn't seem to work; moreover, Apple requires that pairing be completed first before subsequent connections and communications can take place.
