iOS 18 Introduces Seamless Accessory Setup for Third-Party Devices

Apple's new AccessorySetupKit API allows non-Apple accessories to enjoy the same easy pairing process as AirPods.

The AccessorySetupKit API in iOS 18 simplifies Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing for third-party accessories.
This new feature eliminates the need for manual Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permissions for compatible devices.
Users will experience a streamlined setup process with pop-up prompts similar to those for Apple accessories.
Developers can integrate this API to enhance user experience with their accessories.
The API is currently in beta and will be available with the public release of iOS 18.
