Does iPhone support WiFi ad-hoc mode?

Question

Does the iPhone support ad-hoc network mode? Can iPhones connect to one another without requiring an existing network? If so, how can I create an Ad Hoc network in my app?

Answer 1

Ad Hoc networking is supported on all iOS devices, but you can not create an ad hoc network from within your application. From the list of available networks, choose the ad hoc network you want to connect to, click the arrow and choose connect automatically. Now, your device will automatically connect to this network whenever it comes within range. After this you can use the connection using regular sockets or any other networking API.
