Hassan’s answer is wrong.

GameKit’s peer-to-peer model can be used in two ways. The Bluetooth classes (that work with PeerPicker, etc.) basically implement Bonjour over Bluetooth. However, if you want to support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth the best thing to do is have a Bonjour based “framework” for establishing the connections, but feed it either from the standard Bonjour services (for Wi-Fi) or from those established by GameKit over Bluetooth.

This post provides some good pointers, but in essence, you will need to use Bonjour to establish your Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connection.

add the following method in your code 

    - (void)peerPickerController:(GKPeerPickerController *)picker didSelectConnectionType:(GKPeerPickerConnectionType)type
{

picker.connectionTypesMask =  GKPeerPickerConnectionTypeOnline;

}
