Hotspot Scanner App

A simple React Native app to manage and scan for connected devices on a mobile hotspot.

Features

• Check if hotspot is enabled.
• Display the device's IP address.
• Find and list connected devices to the hotspot.

Setup & Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rakeshpatilAW/MobileHotspotScanner.git
   cd hotspot-scanner-app

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the app on an emulator or connected device:

   • For iOS:

     npx react-native run-ios

   • For Android:

     npx react-native run-android

4. Make sure to configure any required permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml or Info.plist (such as WiFi and location permissions).

Limitations

• Android 13 (API level 33) and newer: The method used to manage and scan connected devices may not work on Android 13 due to new security restrictions and role-based access introduced in that version. As of Android 13, apps are restricted from accessing certain system-level functionalities like hotspot management without specific privileges, which are not granted to normal apps.

  • The app's ability to scan and interact with connected devices may be limited or unavailable on devices running Android 13 or later.
  • You may need to update the app or implement new workarounds if running on Android 13 or later.

Usage

• The app will automatically fetch the device IP and show it on the screen.
• You can also scan for connected devices and see their IP and MAC addresses.
