Involid QR Code using genkey for peer

[ShortPutt]

Has anyone used genkey to generate public and private keys for the clients? I created both server and peer key pairs and incorporated them into the Wireguard configuration. When I used the qr code to create a tunnel on my iPhone, it said invalid qr code and did not create the tunnel.

So I took some steps and incorporated the keys one by one.

1. Created a config w/ no explicit keys - qrcode successfully created iPhone tunnel and it successfully connected.
2. Added a preshared key for the peer - qrcode successfully created iPhone tunnel, but had to manually put preshared key in iPhone config (see previous discussion topic) and iPhone successfully connected.
3. Generated a set of server keys and added them to the config - qrcode successfully created iPhone tunnel and it successfully connected - again had to manually put the preshared key in the iPhone config.
4. Generated a set of keys for the peer and added them to the config - iPhone said invalid qrcode when creating the tunnel.

In between each of the above steps I stopped wireguard, deleted the peer files and directory, made the config changes, then started wireguard. A new directory with peer files appeared, so it would seem addon-wireguard regenerates them if they are not there. (would be nice to add this to the documentation)

Here's how I tested for successful connection:
I run Home Assistant in IOTstack - which results in wireguard running in a docker container. I use portainer to open a console in the wireguard container and run wg show. When successful tunnel is established it will show the ip of the client and #bytes sent/received. I also run checkip.dyndns.com from the iPhone and confirm a successful tunnel when it displays the WAN IP of the network in which the wireguard server is running.

Some more info
I created a peer for my Windows laptop w explicitly defined serer, peer and preshared keys. I manually created the tunnel in the wireguard app on my laptop and it connected successfully. So it would appear the server side config is good when all keys are explicit.

I suspect manually creating the tunnel on my iPhone would work too, I will try when I have a chance - it's a pain to get the keys to the iPhone or type them in manually.
