Is it possible to use an ios device as a Wi-fi tunnel? Does the Ios application have access to solve the "Tethering mode" task?

Question

iOS

Will software created on an ios device allow relaying access to the network via wi-fi?
For example, connect a camera that will have access to the network through an ios application.
Something similar to the standard modem mode, only through the assembled application.
device requiring network access -> (wi-fi) ->> ios app -> (wi-fi) ->> network.
Theoretically, is it possible to create an ios application to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!)

Answer 1

Theoretically, you can implement a web server on an iphone. And even fasten the bonjour so that the devices connect without any ip shniks and ports. True, here you need camera support for this joy
(well, here's how stackoverflow.com/questions/6804650/ios-devices-as... is suggested here )
Problems will start when you want the modem mode to work even when the application is minimized / closed. Here we already need Extension. And there is no one like you want, but there are others (only iOS 9)

Network extension points:
Use the Packet Tunnel Provider extension point to implement the client side of a custom VPN tunneling protocol.
Use the App Proxy Provider extension point to implement the client side of a custom transparent network proxy protocol.
Use the Filter Data Provider and the Filter Control Provider extension points to implement dynamic, on-device network content filtering.
Perhaps they will fit in a compartment with the standard iPhone modem mode, you need to investigate.
Just pay attention to what is highlighted
. Well, if you don’t need a store application, then you already need to dig private api, and I’m not strong in this
