For me it helped setting "android-targetSdkVersion" to 28 and to manually enable GPS on the phone. Which seems to work as a workaround for now...

eliadAfeka · Answer 2 · Sat Sep 19 2020 03:59:58 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

it will not work for you from November 2020.

I have a working version running on Android 10. I modified it by forking https://github.com/ViggoChavine/WifiWizard2 who already started work for API 29 and i added on top of it for my app feel free to use as a base or as is: https://github.com/VijayVaveHealth/WifiWizard2/.
For ViggoChavine you have to manually call the add and enable functions. I modified my connect function slightly so you can just do WifiWizard2.connect(wifi.SSID, false, wifi.password, 'WPA')

On Android 29 there is a bug on certain devices, so far i've seen it on Oneplus 6 and a Nokia android phone the connection dialog comes up and gets stuck in a loop. If you read stackoverflow or other websites users mention seeing this on some of their devices, there is also a google issue ticket that was started but no update so far, seems phone vendors are at fault here. It works fine on the Pixel and Samsung phones.

hi,

@VijayVaveHealth - after installing your version it seems like not working while trying to connect wifi.
I get a different error from what I had, but still can't connect. I get "CONNECT_FAILED_TIMEOUT"

Vijay Gopal · Answer 5 · Fri Oct 02 2020 04:37:32 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@eliadAfeka i only call the WifiWizard2.connect and in my WifiWizard.js file you will see in the connect function the calls to the android code. Android 10 devices only call add and then don't do anything else.

`

             if(device.platform === "Android" && parseInt(device.version.split('.')[0]) >= 10){

                 // New method for Android Q does not support it add method already brings up dialog to join network

            } else {

                // Successfully updated or added wifiConfig

                cordova.exec(resolve, reject, "WifiWizard2", "connect", [WifiWizard2.formatWifiString(SSID), bindAll]);

            }`

eliadAfeka · Answer 6 · Sun Oct 04 2020 03:46:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@VijayVaveHealth so I don't understand. how can I connect with Andoird>=10?

Laxman Spidey · Answer 7 · Sat Oct 10 2020 16:25:48 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@VijayVaveHealth Thanks for the fix, it worked on Android 10 on my Samsung device.
There seems to be another issue, when i'm connected to other network and trying to connect to new network from the list, it's always saying "CONNECT_FAILED_TIMEOUT". It worked when i'm not connected to any wifi.
Should i disconnect before calling connect?

eliadAfeka · Answer 8 · Sat Oct 17 2020 22:09:49 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@laxman-spidey it turned to be that there is no support in WPA2, just use WPA instead and it will work.

eliadAfeka · Answer 9 · Sun Oct 18 2020 03:43:44 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@VijayVaveHealth can merge your commits?

HusFNS · Answer 10 · Tue Nov 10 2020 15:58:58 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@VijayVaveHealth your branch works perfect for me. This actually also gives me a succes back and doesn't keep hanging.
But actually it doesn't give me an error.

So when the network is not available it keeps loading any fix for this?

Joseph Allen · Answer 11 · Tue Nov 17 2020 19:33:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@VijayVaveHealth thanks for your work on implementing API level 29, unfortunately on Ionic 3 I receive a strange pop up saying "Searching for devices..." when I attempt to connect to a network via the connect or add method.
Eventually it will timeout giving me the option to cancel or retry. Interestingly, if I cancel, it reveals a pop up behind displaying my typical WiFiWizard2 connection message, but this never resolves.

This also happens with using the master branch of triplfex's repo which contains ViggoChavine's API 29 fixes (I have even tried other forks with API 29 support such as TMAEDCC, but I always have the same result).

I am using a Pixel 4 with Android 11.

HusFNS · Answer 12 · Wed Nov 18 2020 16:41:29 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I also saw that a few people started working on this but actually no success.

https://github.com/Pankaja13/WifiWizard2/tree/android-29 here the issue is it keeps looping and popping up the connection box.

https://github.com/ScottWaring/WifiWizard2/tree/android-ten-test This looked promising but when I add it to my project I get lots of errors so no succes

Joseph Allen · Answer 13 · Wed Nov 18 2020 17:54:31 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@HusFNS from what I can tell, almost all of the methods used in WifiWizard2 were deprecated. It seems that using WifiNetworkSuggestion might be the way forward now, but is only seems to support networks without an active internet connection (I assume it is intended purely for IoT).

Source: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifi-suggest#java

However, this may work in conjunction with above: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings?hl=en#ACTION_WIFI_ADD_NETWORKS

Joseph Allen · Answer 14 · Thu Nov 19 2020 01:34:38 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This plugin (https://github.com/sushichop/cordova-plugin-wifi-manager) does appear to work on my Pixel 4 running Android 11, however it does not have offer functionality such as scanning for nearby networks.

For now, I can run both plugins in order to achieve my goals, put perhaps the method used in cordova-plugin-wifi-manager can help with WifiWizard2's adoption of API level 29+.

Pankaja Withanachchi · Answer 15 · Thu Nov 19 2020 02:38:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@HusFNS That fork was really intended for a specific project I am working on but there's no reason it shouldn't work. I did have trouble getting that promise returned on success so I added a less than perfect workaround. Here's how I'm using in on > Android 10:

WifiWizard2.connect("SSID", true, "Password", "WPA").catch((e) => {
	if (e.toString() === "onUnavailable"){
		// Failure (or user clicked cancelled)
	}
	WifiWizard2.getConnectedSSID().then((SSID) => {
		// Success
	})
});

I can confirm this works with Ionic 3 on a Pixel 4 with Android 11 - thanks!

HusFNS · Answer 17 · Thu Nov 26 2020 23:44:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I have been working on a fix and can be tested. It works fine for me on my android 10 (samsung).

The reason why he doesn't always return onUnavailable is because it is a bug in android. I made a workaround with a timout.
The available now returns success

Hi, I was facing same issue on my device OnePlus 6T with Android 10 and i wasn't able to connect through selected ssid.
So after 2-3 days i got to know that you have to turn on your GPS before connecting to wifi network. And this method works for me Hopefully this will work for you as well.

I'm able to connect to networks now again thanks to @maxcodefaster's fork, thank you!

But is it correct the wi-fi doesn't automatically turn on anymore if it's turned off? Does anybody know if there is a way to still programatically turn on wi-fi?

HusFNS · Answer 21 · Wed Dec 16 2020 21:36:27 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@KinG-InFeT this was indeed what I said. That's why I used the workaround with the de timeout.

I see @maxcodefaster used my fix and made a merge request for the master branch.

Did anyone encounter the following errors on Android 10?

I/WifiService: addOrUpdateNetwork not allowed for uid=10773
I/WifiService: getConfiguredNetworks not allowed for uid=10773
E/WifiService: 10164 has no permission about LOCAL_MAC_ADDRESS

https://github.com/sushichop/cordova-plugin-wifi-manager seems to work though, what could be the difference?

I've finally managed to get it to work like this on Android 10, Samsung s20 and a Samsung tablet. No luck on One Plus 5T but that's their fault, not the plugin's. I've used maxcodefaster's repo.

WifiWizard2.connect('mySSID', true, '', 'WPA').catch((e) => {
    if (e.toString() === "onUnavailable") {
        alert(e.toString())
    }
    WifiWizard2.getConnectedSSID().then((SSID) => {
        alert(SSID)
    })
});

However for some reason it won't work on a Xiaomi with Android 9.

I am having the same problem tried WifiWizard2.connect not working on Android 10 (APK-29), it is working fine on APK-28.
I am using Ionic 3 this is my implementation.

`declare var WifiWizard2: any;

  WifiWizard2.connect("ssid", true, "password", "WPA").catch((e) => {
    if (e.toString() === "onUnavailable"){
        this.perror = e.toString();
      // Failure (or user clicked cancelled)
    }
    WifiWizard2.getConnectedSSID().then((SSID) => {
      // Success
      this.pdone = JSON.stringify(SSID);
    })

`
any help ?

That error has nothing to do with the plugin. It's your OS's fault. You can go and read about it on OnePlus'es forums.

Just google 'oneplus WifiNetworkSpecifier'.

You'll just have to wait and see if any future update from oneplus will fix it.

So the solution is simply adding location permission to the app. You can ask for it from the app, or you can test it by going to your app settings -> permissions -> location and clicking
