Yes, /var/lib/iwd (aka @daemon_storagedir@) should definitely exist
but I think the upstream build system should create it (and also
@wired_storagedir@ when --enable-wired is used).
(Sorry I missed this as I already had /var/lib/iwd lingering because of
my previous use.)

I mentioned this problem on the #iwd irc channel hoping someone would
pick up fixing it up. I'll cherry-pick the fix as soon as it's committed
upstream. Hopefully someone fixes this up soon. If you're into autotools
stuff please do feel free to submit a patch to upstream yourself! (If
noone bites I'll see when I find the time.)

For now you should work around this by just:
sudo mkdir -m 700 /var/lib/iwd 

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
