Wi-Fi Aware allows for multiple peer connections simultaneously. It enables devices to find each other and form secure links at runtime, supporting local ephemeral experiences like file sharing or setting up an accessory. This means that while a connection requires two devices to establish, multiple connections can coexist, allowing for interactions with several devices at the same time. This is highlighted in the session Supercharge device connectivity with Wi-Fi Aware.
Supercharge device connectivity with Wi-Fi Aware
Learn how to create peer-to-peer network connections with Wi-Fi Aware. We’ll also cover how to share videos in real time, transfer large files, and control accessories with improved bandwidth and lower latency. And you’ll learn how to use DeviceDiscoveryUI, AccessorySetupKit, and the Network framework to use Wi-Fi Aware in your app.
Use structured concurrency with Network framework
Network framework is the best way to make low-level network connections on Apple platforms — and in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 26, it’s a perfect fit for your structured concurrency code. We’ll explore how you can make connections, send and receive data and framed messages, listen for incoming connections, and browse the network for services. We’ll also cover key best practices along the way.
