Hello Apple Developer Forums,
We are evaluating AccessorySetupKit for onboarding a custom Wi-Fi smart-home accessory.
Our main goal is to achieve password-less Wi-Fi provisioning, meaning the user would not need to manually type a Wi-Fi password or setup/pairing code during onboarding.
We would like to understand whether ASK currently supports, or is intended to support:
- Secure Wi-Fi credential provisioning through system APIs
- Fully system-mediated onboarding flows
- Provisioning for headless/no-display accessories
More specifically:
- Can password-less Wi-Fi provisioning be implemented using only public ASK APIs?
- Is a pairing/setup code always required?
- Or are developers still expected to use temporary AP mode and custom credential transfer flows?
We are trying to determine the recommended onboarding architecture for future products.
Thank you.
