Turning personal hotspot on?

Is there a way I can turn personal hotspot on using objective-c? I need to connect to a printer and I don't want the user to go to the settings and then turn it on, rather I want to turn it on in code, print, then turn it back off.

Sorry, there is no way to do that in the published APIs.

You may want to file an enhancement request at http://bugreport.apple.com/

However, I suspect that your use case is sufficiently esoteric that only a few people will be affected. I mean, you have a wifi-enabled printer but no wifi network? That is probably rare for consumers (but common in businesses).

And in the case of businesses, I don't think that they would let their wifi printers connect to any random hotspot that just happens to show up...
