Hello, my company is developing a product that will send data to/from the phone over cable and Wi-Fi. I have three questions:
-
Do we need an MFi authentication chip in our product if we plan to send video and commands to the iPhone/iPad over USB or Lightning cable?
-
Likewise, do we need an MFI authentication chip for communication over Wi-Fi? (Informal research suggests that the answer is no to this one.)
-
And, do we even still need MFI certification at all for Wi-Fi comms? (We are not using HomeKit.)
Thank you!
