Hi all. Is there a way to turn on wi-fi from my app? So if for example a user has his wi-fi off, but my app needs it, can I turn it on? Or is not available on the sdk?
Thanks in advance.

That's what I thought, since didn't found anything in the sdk, but was hoping I overlooked something. Thanks.
You can't, but you can add this key to your Info.plist:
Documented here:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/l...plicationEnvironment/chapter_6_section_4.html
Code:
<key>UIRequiresPersistentWiFi</key>
<true/>Documented here:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/l...plicationEnvironment/chapter_6_section_4.html
In general the documentation doesn't say what you can't do, only what you can. If it doesn't say you can do X then most likely you can't
Plus it goes against Apples software philosophy. Remember that the user should always be in control. If they turn Wifi on or off then chances are that that is the correct setting. Developers should not try and change user defined settings.
