Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a Wifi access point with the new AccessorySetupKit framework.
At first i thought that ASK would establish the connection to the access point but then it was mentioned in the session that I need to do that myself with NEHotspotConfigurationManager.
I tried to do that but every time I get this error:
NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain Code=17 "system denied configuration of the accessory network."
My AP is just a small ESP32 but I get the same results with any other AP.
Looking at the logs in Console.app for my device, I see some interesting logs such as these:
Subsystem: com.apple.AccessorySetup, Category: ASAccessorySession
Received event: DADeviceEvent: type DeviceChangedDADeviceEvent: device DADevice: ID D0A7B5FB-6800-4B73-9DC4-697DDE791D2B, name 'Printer Emulator', flags AccessorySetup, SSID 'ESP32-AP', type Hi-Fi Speaker, { DADeviceAppAccessInfo: com.criboe.GBPE, ID D0A7B5FB-6800-4B73-9DC4-697DDE791D2B, state Authorized, < WiFi >, Time 2024-07-10-11:16:40.389, disConfig asID 6CC66EF2-9D12-4071-92E4-7038D741D5E5, btSv [], com.criboe.GBPE, flags 0x8 < RenameSSID >, hSPs [ "ESP32" ] }

...and many more...

What is weird is that if I don't use ASK to first find my accessory and simply call NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(_: ) I can connect to the AP just fine.
Any suggestions to what might be wrong here?
Hello, for accessories, you will need to use one of these new methods on NEHotspotConfigurationManager to connect:
*/
- (void)joinAccessoryHotspot:(nonnull ASAccessory *)accessory
passphrase:(nonnull NSString *)passphrase
completionHandler:(void (^ __nullable)(NSError * __nullable error))completionHandler API_AVAILABLE(ios(18.0)) API_UNAVAILABLE(macos, watchos, tvos);
- (void)joinAccessoryHotspotWithoutSecurity:(nonnull ASAccessory *)accessory
completionHandler:(void (^ __nullable)(NSError * __nullable error))completionHandler API_AVAILABLE(ios(18.0)) API_UNAVAILABLE(macos, watchos, tvos);
