Hello,
I am newbie in both WICED and iOS so please bear with me on this. I am trying to find a solution to use Wi-Fi direct on iOS to interface with WICED Wi-Fi. I believe MFI libraries need to used in WICED. But I am not able to get much information on this. Do I need to sign up for MFI really? For audio streaming and Lightning connector, I can understand that MFI libraries will be needed but for sending non-audio packets over TCP or UDP does one need MFI libraries in Wi-Fi WICED?
Thanks in advance for answering.

Two options for iOS as Wi-Fi Direct replacement:
1. iPod Accessory Protocol (iAP). This requires a BT chip for transferring Wi-Fi credentials. This is supported in WICED SDK 2.4.0
2. Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC). This is supported in 2.4.1 and 3.0.0.
Both options can be obtained through the MFi portal if you're a licensee. The eval board is WICED+ or WICED BRIDGE which can be obtained from Avnet.
I'm not an expert in iOS, but for TCP/IP networking you should be able to use the stock standard WICED TCP/IP API, libraries, and daemons.

Thanks gerdiman. I could find out code for iAP in SDK. Can you point me to code of WAC? I hope WAC won't need a separate BTLE radio.
