This post is from the WWDC26 AccessorySetupKit Q&A.

Hi there, we deploy upwards of 12-15 hardware accessories containing BLE at a time, in a single system instal. Can AccessorySetupKit be used to streamline the pairing process for all of these accessories at once, so that the user isn't required to step through the process of pairing with each individual accessory?

AccessrySetupKit currently does not support this flow. Can you please share more information about this scenario, what are those devices ? Do these devices require BLE pairing ? If so, what type? How do you set them up for pairing? How did you support this use case with CoreBluetooth before without AccessorySetupKit? The more information you can share will allow us to understand and consider future support for this.
