What happened to WPS on Android?

Start "SimpleWPS" and press the WPS button of the device you want to connect.
This is enough. So, your smartphone can be connected with the device by Wi-Fi (WiFi, wireless LAN).

- This app does NOT need "Rooted". You can do WPS on non-Rooted device.
- This app uses WPS of Android, so supports a lot of devices.

* Perhaps, WPS button is a same button as Easy Setting button for each manufacturer.
Example: "Rakuraku wlan Start", "AOSS", and so on.

[About WPS]
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS; originally Wi-Fi Simple Config) is a network security standard that attempts to allow users to easily secure a wireless home network.

You can easily perform complex configuration of wireless LAN security if WPS-enabled devices to each other.

There is a push-button and PIN code methods. "SimpleWPS" is supports the push-button method.
With the touch of a button on the wireless LAN base unit , you can set safe and easy.

Android 10 introduces support for the Wi-Fi Easy Connect protocol, also known as the device provisioning protocol (DPP). Wi-Fi Easy Connect was introduced by the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) as an alternative to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). WPS was deprecated in Android 9.

Wi-Fi Easy Connect provides a simple and secure method to:

Onboard Wi-Fi devices (including headless devices) to a network without entering a password.
Join Wi-Fi networks without knowing or entering a password.

Bootstrapping and authentication is configured using a URI, which is acquired by scanning a QR code (using a camera), or is configured out-of-band, for example, using BLE or NFC.

Wi-Fi Easy Connect uses an encrypted channel to send Wi-Fi credentials between devices, and because public action frames are used, devices can use existing access points.

Android 10 supports Wi-Fi Easy Connect only in initiator mode (responder mode is not supported). These modes of operation are supported:

Initiator-Configurator: Send network credentials to a new device by scanning its QR code.
Initiator-Enrollee: Join a network by scanning the network QR code.

Android 10 supports the pre-shared key (PSK) protocol for WPA2 and the simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE) protocol for WPA3.

Wi-Fi Easy Connect is only supported in client mode (SoftAP mode is not supported).

Implementation

To support Wi-Fi Easy Connect, implement the supplicant interface provided in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Depending on the interface that was implemented, this is at:

hardware/interfaces/wifi/supplicant/1.2/ or a later version for HIDL
hardware/interfaces/wifi/supplicant/aidl/ for AIDL

The following are required to support DPP:

Linux kernel patches to support DPP:
- cfg80211
- nl80211
wpa_supplicant with support for DPP
Wi-Fi driver with support for DPP
Wi-Fi firmware with support for DPP

Public APIs are available in Android 10 for use by apps:

WifiManager#isEasyConnectSupported: Queries the framework to determine whether the device supports Wi-Fi Easy Connect.
Activity#startActivityForResult(ACTION_PROCESS_WIFI_EASY_CONNECT_URI): Allows apps to integrate Wi-Fi Easy Connect into their onboarding/setup flow.

Enabling Wi-Fi Easy Connect

To enable Wi-Fi Easy Connect in the Android framework, include the CONFIG_DPP compilation option in the wpa_supplicant configuration file, android.config:

# Easy Connect (Device Provisioning Protocol - DPP)
CONFIG_DPP=y

Validation

To test your implementation, run the following tests.

Unit tests

Run DppManagerTest to verify the behavior of the capability flags for DPP.

atest DppManagerTest

Integration test (ACTS)

To run an integration test, use the Android Comms Test Suite (ACTS) file, WifiDppTest.py, located in tools/test/connectivity/acts_tests/tests/google/wifi.

VTS tests

If the HIDL interface is implemented, run VtsHalWifiSupplicantV1_2TargetTest to test the behavior of the supplicant HAL v1.2.

If the AIDL interface is implemented, run VtsHalWifiSupplicantStaIfaceTargetTest to test the behavior of the supplicant HAL.
