How does the Spark phone app work?

Hi, I am curious about how the Spark core phone app detect cores and send the wifi credentials to the core. How can I make my own phone app that can update my core’s wifi credential? I am a student and don’t have any knowledge about it, please can anyone explain to me? THANKS!!!

It’s based on Smart Config, a proprietary protocol made by Ti.

And just a heads up that the Photon will use non-proprietary soft-AP setup, so it’s possible to write your own mobile code if you want to do that.
