The Arduino IDE will re-install the Arduino WiFININA library over the Adafruit-WiFiNINA library on every launch due to the same name being used in library.properties.

Renaming the library to different them would resolve this worked for me.

WiFiNINA -> Adafruit-WiFiNINA
sklarm@grazie libraries % pwd
/Users/sklarm/Documents/Arduino/libraries
sklarm@grazie libraries % head -2 WiFiNINA/library.properties
name=Adafruit-WiFiNINA
version=1.6.0

This came up in a Adafruit Forum issue and was easy to replicate.

There might be a more elegant way to do this. The Arduino IDE will re-install the Arduino WiFININA library over the Adafruit-WiFiNINA library on every launch due to the same name being used.

use somehting like WifiNINA (Adafruit Fork) since we didnt author this. you also have to open an issue w/arduino library manager to manually update the name

Following the same convention used for SdFat_-_Adafruit_Fork.

Renamed library. Following the same convention used for SdFat_-_Adafruit_Fork.

WiFiNINA_-_Adafruit_Fork

This WiFiNINA Adafruit Fork has not been included with the Arduino IDE library manager. It would be a new addition. It has been a manual zip file download on the guide page.

I can submit a request for the addition. Is it necessary to update the main branch and maybe rev the version to have the right new name in place first?
