Yes I have. What's odd is that I do not get any errors in Logcat. EnableNetwork even returns true but it just won't connect to it.

I had this same issue.
Note 9, had Android 9 2 days ago, once i updated to Android 10, it could no longer connect.

Confirmed issue on OnePlus 7T, Android Version 10, Build Number 10.0.5.HD63CB

Maybe related to these Android 10 privacy related changes?

Nope. Android 10 changed the WiFi handling. You cannot auto connect anymore, always need user confirmation.

Implemented a solution in my capacitor plugin: https://github.com/digaus/capacitor-wifi/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/digaus/capwifi/WifiService.java#L79

@digaus @arsenal942

is there an fix for this issue? My samsung always had android 9 but now 10 and he has problems connecting.

[heythisisnate]

I'm having the same issue. Samsung Galaxy S9 running Android 10.

[pa-de-solminihac]

I upgraded my OnePlus 5T to from Android 9 to Android 10 last week. Reading this issue, I expected it to fail to connect but it is still working. So maybe it's not (only) Android 10 related?

I had issues in the past with another phone, Samsung J3: after an US update it could no longer connect, then another update fixed it.

[pa-de-solminihac]

I noticed that when trying to connect to a Wifi network I need both :

• location permission to have been accepted
• location to be enabled

I am pretty sure that on previous Android versions the connection did succeed when location is disabled, but it is no longer the case.

I just encountered that the connection functionality depends on the target SDK version set for the app. As soon as I increased the compile and target SKD version from 28 to 29 (as formally required by the play store since August 2020) (dis)connect did no longer work. Reverted to SDK 28 and it was fine again, even on devices with Android 10.

Looks like this may fix the issue -> #108 can we get that merged?

[bendoerr]

Also this PR -> https://github.com/tripflex/WifiWizard2/pull/104/files. Is this project still maintained.

[gregor-srdic]

@bendoerr none of these two seems to work for me, does it work for you?

Tried these pull requests as they seemed to be getting good comments, however neither worked for me:

• fix/android10
  • gh pr checkout 108
• issue/connectivity-android-10-and-q
  • gh pr checkout 104

I then removed and then re-added the addon before testing on a moto g phone (android 10):

$ cordova plugin remove wifiwizard2
$ cordova plugin add ../WifiWizard2/

I don't get any feedback in the js callbacks within cordova, but I do see this in the $ adb logcat output:

WifiService: getConfiguredNetworks not allowed for uid=10396

not sure if this is the cause of my issue??

I'm trying to connect to a hotspot created by an esp8266 device (using WifiWizard2.connect()) and then jump back to the original SSID once the settings are sent to the esp device.

Was working fine until my android 10 update :(

I can't find any other cordova plugin that comes close the the features of WifiWizard2.

both pull request #108 & #104 did fix the original issue on the master branch of ERROR_ADDING_NETWORK returned by the cordova js callbacks. So it seems that the android 10 (API 29) code kicks in with the WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder() 👍
