I’m working on an open-source React Native library for Wi-Fi Aware / NAN:
https://github.com/dcavalcante/react-native-wifi-aware
The Android implementation has already been physically validated for capability detection, discovery, follow-up messaging, and data paths.
The Apple implementation is in place and passes the current simulator/static compilation gates, but I don’t currently have the Apple hardware and Developer Program setup needed to validate it on physical devices.
I’m looking for someone with an Apple Developer account and preferably two iOS/iPadOS 26 devices who can help test:
Wi-Fi Aware entitlement/signing declared WiFiAwareServices publish / subscribe discovery system pairing Apple-to-Apple connectivity Android ↔ Apple discovery and interoperability
The biggest unknown I want to validate is the cross-platform path between Android Wi-Fi Aware and Apple’s iOS 26 implementation.
Testing results, fixes, documentation, and implementation contributions are all welcome.
