So I've read that the two things that determine a captive hotspot for Mac OS devices are of they can reach an Apple DNS served as well as Apple.com with a correct user agent.
However my goal is to create a captive portal that works on my iPhone (so if users connect to my open personal hotspot network they are prompted either my captive portal). Is this possible?
Thanks!

I want to create an electron app through which I can manage the wifi connections of the device. How to approach it? Is there any library available which gives me access to wifi api of the device?
I am developing an application for iOS, Android, UWP and Windows Phone 8.1 device with Xamarin Forms.
In this app I have a key feature witch require the app to send notifications to other device (which are also running the app).
The amout of data is realy low but it has to be fast (don't want to use a backend).
What I want to do:
When the user lunch the app, the app scan network (Wifi and/or bluethooth) to find if another app is already running)
If the app find nothing, it launch a server part.
If the app find someting, it connect to the other device (with allow/disallow screen).
So I am considering the folowing solution :
Wifi (but it requires all devices to be on the same network).
Bluetooth
I don't find best pratice or guides for this.
Does someone have already tried and have a solution ?
Thanks.
I am creating an application for an huge enterprise , I came to know about apple Enterprise programme for the in house distribution.
Using that I can control the iPhone through server. My server will connect with Apple server and then I can control the iPhone.
But can any one suggest me how the server will connect with the APNS and how my device will perform all the things ?
Be specific to the question : What code is needed on server as well as on iPhone so accomplish such kind of task like Mobile Device Management?
any tutorial or help will be great full..
Thanks in advance
There is no code. You need to purchase a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution from one of the 3rd parties listed on Apple's MDM for iOS 4 site. Or wait until Mac OS X Lion Server ships later this year.
One of the MDM providers Airwatch is providing an SDK you include with your in-house app that ties back to Airwatch MDM server. You will need to speak to them for more details.
I remember hearing about how Apple was going to include the ability to deploy an app from Xcode to your iPhone wirelessly in the 3.1 SDK. I believe it was to aid developers that wanted to deploy/test apps that used peripherals that plugged into the iphone's docking port- this way, they could deploy a build of the app with their peripheral device still plugged in.
Has anyone done this, or have a clue as to how to do this? Is it done via wifi network, via a direct bluetooth connection to the mac...?
I believe you can't deploy, but you can use Instruments over Wifi to performance tune your app.
You still need to use USB to allow for Xcode to install and debug your app.
Including data exchange. I can not find such api in apple doc site. If it is not open in 3.1.2 sdk ,would apple release it in sdk4.0? I've heared that google released wireless api on android earlier . Thanks!
iPhones support ad-hoc wifi networking, so I expect you can make your device start an ad-hoc network and have the iPhone user connect manually. I doubt there will be an API for that, it's a security issue.
