For context AWDL is responsible for AirDrop, AirPlay, etc

“Apple shall implement the measures for Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 in the next major iOS release, i.e. iOS 19, at the latest, and for Wi-Fi Aware 5.0 in the next iOS release at the latest nine months following the introduction of the Wi-Fi Aware 5.0 specification”

Very interesting in depth read, thanks for posting! Looking forward to interoperable Airdrop-like functionality, would love to airdrop between my iphone and linux laptop.
