How do i setup find my

To set up "Find My" for an accessory, you can use the AccessorySetupKit introduced in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. Here’s a brief overview of how it works:

1. Accessory Picker: The AccessorySetupKit provides a new accessory picker that simplifies the setup process. With just one tap, the accessory is paired to your app, granting both Bluetooth and WiFi access if the accessory supports both. This picker displays the friendly name and product image of your accessory, making it easy for users to identify and authenticate the accessory before setup.

2. API Integration: You need to call an API to bring up the accessory picker. This picker will show any nearby accessories that your app wants to pair with, using your own high-fidelity artwork and friendly names for the accessories.

3. Setup Flow: The setup flow is designed to be frictionless. Once the accessory is discovered, it is presented in the picker and can be paired with your app with just one tap. This process is privacy-friendly and runs in a separate process from your app.

4. Managing Accessories: After setup, the accessories can be managed through the new accessories row in the privacy and security settings. Users can modify the accessory name, toggle access for paired apps, or remove the accessory from the system.
