At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Use Wi-Fi Infrastructure to automatically share Wi-Fi network credentials after establishing a Bluetooth connection. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp → SampleAccessoryView → DiceSessionManager → WiFiNetworkSharingProvider → WiFiInfrastructure APIs. |

}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Wi-Fi Infrastructure.
Ownership and state

Ownership evidence
WiFiNetworkSharing/TransportExtension/TransportExtension.swift:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
private let logger = Logger(subsystem: subsystem, category: "Extension")| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
TransportExtension |
Logger (logger) |
creates and retains | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
EventHandler |
ASAccessorySession (askSession) |
creates and retains | Owning lexical scope |
EventHandler |
WiFiNetworkSharingProvider (sharingProvider) |
stores or receives | Owning lexical scope |
EventHandler |
AccessoryTransportSession (transportSession) |
stores or receives | Owning lexical scope |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Class and protocol design
WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary
struct ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
SampleAccessoryView()
}
}
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
WiFiNetworkSharingSampleApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
EventHandler |
Handles callbacks or feature events | AccessoryTransportSession.EventHandler |
WiFiNetworkSharingProvider |
Supplies a capability or framework resource | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
SampleAccessoryView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ContentView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
DiceSessionManager |
Long-lived feature or framework coordination | NSObject |
TransportExtension |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | AccessoryTransportAppExtension |
DiceAccessory |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | NSObject |
DiceColor |
Defines a closed set of feature states or choices | String |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
sendRollValue (WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/DiceAccessory.swift:103) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
updateRollResultCharacteristicValue (WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/DiceAccessory.swift:114) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
logger (WiFiNetworkSharing/TransportExtension/TransportExtension.swift:15) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
askSession (WiFiNetworkSharing/TransportExtension/TransportExtension.swift:55) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
Reference code
WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/DiceAccessory.swift:103 — representative boundary
private func sendRollValue(value: String) {
// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp, WiFiNetworkSharingSampleApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Handles callbacks or feature events | EventHandler |
The source’s Handler suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Long-lived feature or framework coordination | DiceSessionManager |
The source’s Manager suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Supplies a capability or framework resource | WiFiNetworkSharingProvider |
The source’s Provider suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ContentView, SampleAccessoryView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Delegate or data-source callbacks | WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/DiceAccessory.swift:122 |
Callback protocols invert event delivery back into the sample’s owner. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp, WiFiNetworkSharingSampleApp; Handler: EventHandler; Manager: DiceSessionManager; Provider: WiFiNetworkSharingProvider; View: ContentView, SampleAccessoryView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
accept,invalidationHandler,handleASAccessoryEvent,activate,invalidate,listenForNetworkEvents,handleNetworkEvent,listenForAccessPointConnectionEvents. - Files:
WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryApp.swift,WiFiNetworkSharing/WiFiNetworkSharingSample/WiFiNetworkSharingSampleApp.swift,WiFiNetworkSharing/TransportExtension/TransportExtension.swift,WiFiNetworkSharing/TransportExtension/WiFiNetworkSharingProvider.swift,WiFiNetworkSharing/ASKSampleWiFiAccessory/SampleAccessoryView.swift,WiFiNetworkSharing/WiFiNetworkSharingSample/ContentView.swift.
Architecture takeaways
ASKSampleWiFiAccessoryAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, AccessorySetupKit, CoreBluetooth, WiFiInfrastructure through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
