Internal error, NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain

Hello eveybody,


Currently I'm working on an app which connects to a device. During testing I encounter an internal error of NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain. See the log snippet:


Domain=NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain Code=8 "internal error." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=internal error.}


This error appears randomly. In one day I encountered it three times. The only solution I can think of is catching this error somehow and then telling the user to restart the device.


After this error appears, the wifi functionality of iOS in all third party apps seems to be broken. Only restarting helps as far as I know. Also there seems to be nothing we as app developers can do about it. Therefor I wonder if there is some way to prevent this error somehow? The only solution I can think of is catching this error somehow and then telling the user to restart the device.


Also since there is not much information about this error on the web, it would be really nice if someone can clarify whats going on with this error.



Regards.

haven't been able to reproduce it on iOS 26 yet.

Hey hey, that sounds like progress (-:

If you manage to find reproducible steps for iOS 26 or later, we’d definitely appreciate a bug report about that.
