Hifiberry OS as access point only

Hello, 
i am trying to set up my Hifiberry-OS  on a Raspi 4 with the Beocreate board. 
In my current setup there is no ethernet connection and no local WIFI network I can access except an iOS hotspot. 
Now with the hifiberry set up to use the iOS hotspot, I cannot access the UI-Setup, since the hifiberry.local/ address does not get resolved.
My question is: Can I somehow configure to use the Hifiberry-OS to be used as an "access point" so that it does not have to connect to a local network similar to how it acts after a fresh install? 
I somehow remember that this was possible in a prior version. 
You could skip the network part and access the EQ settings et. at. 
Any help appreciated, thank you.
