You will have to make a native module yourself. You can copy bits and pieces out of https://github.com/ThanosFisherman/WifiUtils. Up to android 9 you can just create the wifi configuration. Starting android 10, you will have to use the new api. Just skip the scanning part.

In react-native-wifi-reborn we scan first so that we know if the network is in range + what the security details of the network are.

Well, if it’s hidden I don’t think it will show up in the list. And probably this will also break connecting via this library.
