Code snippet:

const connectToWifi = useCallback(async () => {
    try {
      setState((prev) => ({ ...prev, step: "connecting" }));

      // Check network permissions and state
      const networkState = await Network.getNetworkStateAsync();
      if (!networkState.isConnected) {
        throw new Error("Please enable Wi-Fi to continue");
      }

      try {
        // Attempt to connect to the network
        await WifiManager.connectToProtectedWifiSSID({
          ssid: CONFIG.ssid,
          password: CONFIG.password,
          isWEP: false,
          isHidden: false,
          timeout: 30
        });
      } catch (error) {
        // Handle WiFi connection errors immediately
        if (error instanceof Error) {

            throw new Error("Please enable location services to connect to Wi-Fi");
          } else if (error.message.includes("timeoutOccurred")) {
            throw new Error("Connection timed out. Please try again");
          } else if (error.message.includes("android10ImmediatelyDroppedConnection")) {
            throw new Error("Connection dropped. This may be due to a device firmware issue");
          } else if (error.message.includes("authenticationErrorOccurred")) {
            throw new Error("Failed to authenticate with the network. Please check the password");
          } else {
            throw error;
          }
        }
        throw new Error("Failed to connect to dashcam network");
      }

      // Only proceed with force WiFi and verification if connection succeeded
      await WifiManager.forceWifiUsageWithOptions(true, { noInternet: true });

      // Verify we're connected to the correct network
      const connectedSSID = await WifiManager.getCurrentWifiSSID();
      if (connectedSSID === CONFIG.ssid) {
        setState((prev) => ({
          ...prev,
          step: "pairing",
          ssid: connectedSSID,
        }));
        completePairing();
      } else {
        throw new Error("Connected to wrong network");
      }
    } catch (error) {
      // Make sure to disable forced WiFi usage on error
      if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
        try {
          await WifiManager.forceWifiUsageWithOptions(false, { noInternet: true });
        } catch {
          // Ignore cleanup errors
        }
      }

      // Show error immediately
      handleError(error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Failed to connect to dashcam");
    }
  }, [handleError, completePairing]);

The above produces _reactNativeWifiReborn.default. "forceWifiUsageWithOptions" is not a function (it is undefined)

From the readme, that methods seems like to be supported only on Android, not iOS.

Hi, did you manage to solve this on iOS?
Are you trying to connect to an IOT device with no internet connection?

I am getting an error that connectToProtectedSSID() tried to resolve promise multiple times, and I think its because iOS tries to connect to another network, after detecting no internet connection on the IOT web server.
