NEHotspotHelper - multiple access points connect scenario

Hi, I have a question regarding NEHotspotHelper, I understand that as soon as the user tries to connect to a new network, We get an Evaluate command and the hotspot helper app has 45 seconds to deliver a response for it. Referring to [this](Authentication State Machine (apple.com)) document.

I wanted to understand, if the user tries changing the access points frequently like first start connecting to one access point, then second so on, are the evaluate commands for these added in the hotspot queue (the one that we register our app with) one after another or does the system wait for the delivering of the response for 1 access point?

Hi, can anyone please answer this query?

Honestly, I’m afraid of NEHotspotHelper, so I don’t volunteer to answer questions about it on DevForums )-: As always, if you need a definitive answer to a question, open a DTS tech support incident. That’ll force me to overcome my fear. But not until after WWDC mind you; DTS is fully committed to that next week.
