Location consent is now required for Wi-Fi BSSID access. For details on how this affects apps using Wi-Fi or location APIs, see Changes to API behavior for Wi-Fi access and location.
Sets on a WiFiOnDemandHotspotNetwork object various properties of the hotspot network, such as battery percentage, display name, availability, and SSID/password. If any property is invalid, UpdateProperties throws an invalid argument exception.
Note
If you want to use this API in a UWP app, and publish your app to the Microsoft Store, then you'll need to request special approval to use the custom capability Microsoft.onDemandHotspotControl_8wekyb3d8bbwe (the On-Demand Network capability). For more info, see Custom capabilities.
The On-Demand Network capability will be made available only to app developers building end-to-end Wi-Fi hotspot scenarios between a tethering-capable hardware device and a Windows PC.

Remarks
UpdateMetadata should be called regularly by the app, even if no properties have changed. This is to ensure that Windows will show the network in the Wi-Fi available networks list (in other words, so Windows doesn't hide it for being stale). We recommend registering for the WiFiOnDemandHotspotUpdateMetadataTrigger background task and calling UpdateMetadata there.
