In android oreo, only system apps which are signed and have the below permission can change the configuration.

<permission
        android:name="android.permission.OVERRIDE_WIFI_CONFIG"
        android:protectionLevel="signature|privileged" />

So, this causes a problem if the sender is unable to change the name and uses that name to create the QR Code which later fails due to mismatch.
Since there is no way to change the name, I suggest we provide a setting to configure hotspot name in setting for devices < Oreo and read the actual wifi hotspot name after turning it on to create the QR code or writing instructions
