To share files between two devices using peer-to-peer technology, you can utilize Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. Apple provides tools like the Accessory Setup Kit, which simplifies the process of connecting devices via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This kit combines multiple permissions into a single streamlined flow, allowing for easy pairing and management of accessories.
For example, with the Accessory Setup Kit, you can manage accessories with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi by calling an API that brings up an accessory picker. This picker displays nearby accessories that your app can pair with, and with just one tap, the accessory is securely paired with your app, granting access to both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi if supported.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session titled "Meet AccessorySetupKit" from WWDC 2024. This session provides insights into how to manage and connect accessories using the Accessory Setup Kit.
If you are interested in the specific section about the Accessory Setup Kit, you can check the chapter marker for the "Accessory Setup Kit picker" in the session "What’s new in privacy" here.
