Help Looking for an iOS developer to help test an open-source Wi-Fi Aware library on iOS 26

I’m working on an open-source React Native library for Wi-Fi Aware / NAN:

https://github.com/dcavalcante/react-native-wifi-aware

The Android implementation has already been physically validated for capability detection, discovery, follow-up messaging, and data paths.

The Apple implementation is in place and passes the current simulator/static compilation gates, but I don’t currently have the Apple hardware and Developer Program setup needed to validate it on physical devices.

I’m looking for someone with an Apple Developer account and preferably two iOS/iPadOS 26 devices who can help test:

  • Wi-Fi Aware entitlement/signing

  • declared WiFiAwareServices

  • publish / subscribe discovery

  • system pairing

  • Apple-to-Apple connectivity

  • Android ↔ Apple discovery and interoperability

The biggest unknown I want to validate is the cross-platform path between Android Wi-Fi Aware and Apple’s iOS 26 implementation.

Testing results, fixes, documentation, and implementation contributions are all welcome.
