Open THETA SC2 WiFi Setup Prompt on iOS App to Simplify User Setup

THETA API Usage
1

Dear developers,

I’m trying to integrate the camera into my iOS and I’m sorry if this question is too basic, but I’m really lost here.
Here’s the thing: On the Theta app, after you pick the device you have and enter the serial code, the app prompts you the option to connect to the wi-fi network of the camera. I downloaded the sample app, but I just can’t reproduce it. In order to make the camera work, I have to connect to the camera’s wifi before, do you guys know how I can do just like it was done in the Theta app? I simply want to prompt to the user to connect to the camera, if available without having to open the settings app.

I appreciate any help here.
Best regards,

Although not officially supported by RICOH, I have also seen developers use the HEAD method.

If it were me, I would use GET /osc/info as the check
