In-sketch network setup togheter with matter

[OgnjenX]

I have this issue when I run a simple matter setup (similar to light example):

esp_netif_lwip: esp_netif_new: Failed to configure netif with config=0x3ffd9304 (config or if_key is NULL or duplicate key)

assert failed: esp_netif_create_default_wifi_ap wifi_default.c:319 (netif)

Per my understanding, if you want to set up wifi inside sketch you need to apply a patch to the 'matter' codebase because it will try to do lwIP setup, so because of that, the 'ESP32Utils::InitWifiStack' function needs to be empty, like in the patch here.
Are these builds done without applying that patch?
What is the best approach if I want to manage the network connection in the sketch?
