From this state, adding a button to join the network shouldn't be too complicated, at least not on Android. There's an API for offering a WiFi connection to the user. I don't know about iOS but I presume there's a similar API there.

I’m not sure about iOS either. Could you point me to how an Android app can directly connect the user to a WiFi network? I know about the WiFi suggestion API, but I haven’t found a straightforward way to initiate a direct WiFi connection. That’s why I ended up with this quirky QR code workaround.
