I have a requirement where the iPad application must configure the IP address of the device to a particular IP and connect to a wireless network. I had gone through the internet but could not find any material regarding the possible solution .
I really appreciate any solution on this
Thank you
Unfortunately, an iOS app doesn't have this control over the system, so this can't be done on an App Store app.

For local development, I was hoping to programmatically get the computer name or ip address of the macbook my iphone is connected to. I've been looking at hostess; however, it seems to only provide my iphone's ip address. Is this possible?
Thanks so much for the help!

What I've experienced is that if you're building an Xcode project on an iOS device, and then run the project with the debugger attached, it routes all of the iOS device's networking through your computer. So it will only show your computer's IP address, not the device's. It looks in the debugger as if that's your iPhone's networking info, but it's really your computer's.
I am developing the iOS application using objective-c.The main usage of the application is communicating with wifi enabled hardware device.It's uses UDP protocol.Now the problem is all the hardware device are connected with my office network and my iPad also connected with my office network.Now i want to list the available ip-address in the same network.So many duplicate questions are there but no place i found the solution for this.please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS application can find available ip-address in same network using command arp -a. Unfortunately, ARP doesn't support iOS.
But I recommend you this question would be helpful..
iOS - Get ARP table
My app has to connect to a server which can redistribute a new IP Address for the iOS client device.
How to change the IP Address on iPhone by using code in my app?
The app will not be published on the app store and the iOS devices may be jailbroken if necessary.
Anyone can give some suggestion on coding?
You cannot change ip address with the non-private frameworks that you are allowed to use.
You have to find a different architecture for your server-client communication if you want your app to be published on the app store.
From Apple Documentation : iOS is using DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) protocol. So As per DHCP manual IP settings are not allowed by coding.
To learn more about DHCP read This.
I have some WLAN-Device, that I communicate with.
At first I go to IOS Settings and connect to the device directly.
Then in my App I need to input the ip and port to open a socket.
Until now I knew the IP and Port, to open a socket connection to this device.
But if I am already connected (Adhoc) to the device, why I can not find this stuff automatically?
I already saw some solutions, but most of them need the usage of dynamic libs or just not longer available in iOS7.1. I can not use dynamic libs, because this App should go to AppStore.
There is no other way since iOS 6.
You have to scan the location. "Reachability" could help you, if you know the name of the host. Also you could try to scan the posible IP's. With Thread limited by 5 Operations it could go preaty fast.
I've been tasked with getting an iPad to talk to an external device wirelessly on the cheap. I tried the Bluetooth route (not LE - need higher data transfer rate), but we're not willing to go through MFi.
So now I'm looking at WiFi. It may be possible to configure my external device to act as a WiFi router, but it may be easier to get the iPad to act as the router. That's what I'm trying to figure out here.
So I've thought of two possibilities, neither of which I could find any answers for on Google or within SO. Does anyone know the answer to any of these?
Is it possible to have the iPad act as a WiFi router such that other devices connect to the iPad and can communicate with an app on the iPad?
When built-in tethering is active on the iPad, does the iPad have an IP address that is visible to any device connected to the iPad's WiFi hotspot?
When built-in tethering is active of the iPad, is there a way for the iPad to get notified of connections made to the hotspot and get the IP addresses of those devices?
A little more specifically, I need a way for a device to wirelessly communicate with an app on the iPad. I've already gone through the Bluetooth route and I'm hoping for a WiFi answer.
Thank you.
In the interest of not leaving a question open, I'll answer with what I've found:
No
As far as I've been able to tell in my research and experimentation, there is no way to do what I was hoping for. Thank you to Brad Larson for doing his best to give me options.
