This issue requires further study to change the default behavior of the Android networking policy. We need to set the transport type of CanonCameraControlApi connections to Wi-Fi manually. We should try to provide a custom socket factory from Android Network class to OkHttp client. Further details: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/3736

Reference:

• Connecting your App to a Wi-Fi Device
• Make Android simultaneously use WiFi to talk to a device and mobile data to talk to a server?
• Send request over WiFi (without connection) even if Mobile data is ON (with connection) on Android M

This sprint (20.09.10) will focus on the survey of the solution of this issue. The implementation may come later.

@tammyyang If this issue is not that critical, we should postpone the implementation to the next milestone (beta6).
