# com.apple.developer.wifi-aware

The entitlement the system requires for an app to use the Wi-Fi Aware framework.

## Discussion

This entitlement works with the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/WiFiAware> framework, which enables devices to securely discover, pair, and communicate with nearby devices without an internet connection or access point.

To use Wi-Fi Aware, add this entitlement to your app by enabling the Wi-Fi Aware capability on your target in Xcode. For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Xcode/adding-capabilities-to-your-app>.

Add the `Subscribe` string, the `Publish` string, or both to this entitlement, depending on your app’s intended features. The system requires this array to have at least one of the strings.
