Hello, tell me how to programmatically connect to an WiFI access point without a password in Android 10?
I tried several ways with stackoverflow not working.
P.S. Xamarin Forms 5

    Hello,​

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    Android 10 introduces the Wi-Fi Easy Connect protocol which supports to Join Wi-Fi networks without knowing or entering a password. But the Wi-Fi Easy Connect can only be avialable in initiator mode (responder mode is not supported). These modes of operation are supported:

    • Initiator-Configurator: Send network credentials to a new device by scanning its QR code.
    • Initiator-Enrollee: Join a network by scanning the network QR code.

    Here is the relatd doc you could refer to: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/connect/wifi-easy-connect

    Best Regards,

    Jarvan Zhang
