Hi,
We want to establish a connection to Bela from an iPhone by setting up the Bela as a WiFi access point, and connecting to it from an iOS device.
Setting up the Bela as an AP worked like a charm (thanks to this helpful guide: https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/connecting-to-wifi/).
However, iOS devices (since iOS v10) seem to disconnect when they can't access the internet through whatever access point they connect to (the wifi connection in settings then gets the default Apple 169... address).
I know there has to be a way around this, as I use at least one other device set up as an AP (without internet access) that does allow iOS devices to connect (an ADSB transmitter receiver called "SkyEcho") - I assume there must be some obscure DHCP setting to pass along with the lease.
Has anyone managed to get this working?
