Beware that the official wifi dongle doesn't connect in via the handset, it connects straight to the mount, meaning you need the SynScan app. I've learned the hard way that the net effect of this is that it makes it difficult to connect via iOS devices.
The problem, you see, is that you need SynScan app running and active at the same time as SkySafari 6, and you set up SkySafari 6 to connect in to the SynScan App which is then set up to connect in to the mount.
Instructions for the the easy version (Android) can be found in the SynScan App or here:

The problem with Apple devices is that they don't allow the SynScan app to run in background, meaning you need two devices - one running each - to connect Safari 6 on device one, to SynScan on device 2, to the mount.

The solution is to run SynScan on one device (eg. an iPhone) and SkySafari 6 on another device (eg. an iPad). It's clunky as hell and entirely SkyWatcher's fault for not consulting the SkySafari developer before claiming it works together and/or for not making the SynScan app backgroundable (possible to do with modern versions of iOS). It may be resolved sometime later this year or early next year.
