And while we are at Apple-bashing: if you found the macOS prompt
confusing, you haven't seen the iOS one yet :-)

I'm attaching a iOS 12.1 screenshot. It doesn't use the friendly term
"Hotspot 2.0 Settings" - it presents the hexadecimal UUID of the network
settings XML.

This is bug 17775556 on bugreporter.apple.com I opened it in May 2015,
several major iOS releases back.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
