Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize that localsend also works on iOS, but I guess the more the merrier for open source quality and choice development.

Localsend works reliably via wifi, not sure about this ad hoc wifi, no idea how that works

Ad Hoc is like the real AirDrop. It creates a Network between the two devices that gets disconnected afterwords. The Advantage is that you dont need wifi or to activate a hotspot.

I never heard of that, is this a thing present on AOSP and Linux?

Ad-hoc wifi networks are old, they just aren't usually used for much
