Connecting to WIFI by scanning QR code

Is this something that is supported or it is impossible.

I scanned a code with @slava Code Reader, it generated a link but upon taping it, it didn’t work as expected (connect to the wifi).

Is it a link starting with WIFI:S:?
My box generates such links and they are not supported, but in the P: parameter of the link you have the password, which permits you to copy/paste it, removing 90% of the “pain” :slight_smile:

Yes its WIFI: etc etc.

So its a problem with SFOS not understanding the link.

So maybe this should be transformed to a feature request for an unprivileged API for asking the user if they want to connect to a WiFi?
(that Code Reader could then use)

Actually connecting and saving the credentials is reasonable to have privileged… but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be solved.

To save people a few taps it basically says that it cant be included due to limitations in the store.

One more usefull app that is crippled by the store rules. :expressionless:

Back then the camera app wasn’t able to scan qr codes, right? Since it now supports reading codes, maybe it can be implemented in that app. If you are at the next community meeting, you could ask for implementation :slight_smile:
