wifi connect fail in mirror mode

Dear Apple: We found that after mirroring an iPhone and a Mac, calling the NEHotspotConfigurationManager applyConfiguration interface on the iPhone fails to connect to Wi-Fi. Are there any restrictions on using this interface in mirror mode?

Are there any restrictions on using this interface in mirror mode?

I’m not aware of any documentation limitations, but iPhone Mirroring puts a lot of strain on the Wi-Fi interface so I’m not 100% surprised you’re having issue here.

I’d like to clarify your specific issue though. Are you doing this?

  1. Use iPhone Mirroring to control your iPhone with your Mac.

  2. Run your app on the iPhone.

  3. Still using iPhone Mirroring, invoke the UI in your app that causes it to call NEHotspotConfigurationManager.

Are you doing this?

  1. Use iPhone Mirroring to control your iPhone with your Mac.

  2. Disconnect iPhone Mirroring.

  3. Using the iPhone’s screen, run your app on the iPhone.

  4. Still using the iPhone’s screen, invoke the UI in your app that causes it to call NEHotspotConfigurationManager.

Thanks for clarifying.

This doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Changing the Wi-Fi configuration would break the mirroring, which would be kinda inconvenient.

Does NEHotspotConfigurationManager return an error in that case? If so, what is it?
