Using NEHotspotConfigurationManager to connect to a wifi with no internet
up vote

I am having difficulties connecting to a wifi with no internet connection on my iOS device. The internet connection is missing by design as the app is used to control devices in the network and no external connection to internet is available.
IPhone I am using is version 12.1. Xamarin.IOS is 11.14 and Xamarin.Forms 3.3.0
The connection is made successfully and I get prompt
"appname" wants to join Wi-Fi Network "ssid"?
but after selecting Join nothing happens. After when I go to Settings - Wifi page I get a page with title Log In and the page just says that the router (asus) has wan turned off. If I select Cancel I can select "Use Without Internet" and then I am connected.
Even after making the connection I still can't connect to a device in the network (by pinging it) not sure if that is still the same issue or not.
App is written using Xamarin.Forms and here is the part where the connection is created.
public void ConnectToWifi(string ssid, string password)
{
using (var _wifiManager = new NEHotspotConfigurationManager())
{
var wifiConfig = new NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid, password, false)
{
JoinOnce = true
};
_wifiManager.ApplyConfiguration(wifiConfig, error => CompletionHandler(error, ssid));
}
}
private void CompletionHandler(NSError error, string ssid)
{
if (error != null)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error while connecting to WiFi network {ssid}: {error}");
}
}

For XCode 10 make sure you have AccessWiFi entitlement set than only you will be able to access the SSID name. You can refer this blog mobiarch.wordpress.com/2016/11/02/working-with-nehotspothelper

Thanks. It really seems that iOS has a bug/feature on how it handles connecting to WiFi network without internet connection. I have made a request to use network-extension and will try to make a comment here how it works out.

Request for API was denied so before they fix the bug I can't proceed.
