Is it possibile to connect two iphones via wifi without a LAN?

I need two iphones to communicate (send and receive messages) without being inside a LAN. I read that Game Kit Framework makes this possibile but only via bluetooth (is that right?). The application that I have to create need a larger radius than bluetooth so I need wifi but I can't have a Laptop that create the network 'cause this application will run on the outside just between iphone (without internet connection).

Is that possibile? In that case, where do I have to take a look? (Bonjour, Game Kit Framework..)

Thank you

  • Here's the deal ...

    1. GameKit works with EITHER bluetooth or wifi. It's completely automatic. Annoyingly you CAN NOT choose between the paradigm.

    2. From 2016, almost all iPhones / iPads can create a "hotspot" WiFi network, yes.
