Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like there is no way to pass WFA WPS certification with the current connman code base, since this behavior makes it impossible to connect to an open network via WPS. Honestly, it doesn't make a lot of sense to use WPS on an open network if you can display a list of networks for the user to choose from. It makes a lot of sense for a headless unit, where the only way to connect is by WPS push button.
Do you have recommendations for how to modify connman to support a scenario where the button can be pushed before selecting a network to connect to? And a level of effort required? Thanks!
