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
