Fetch network security type

Yes. You can get the current network using the NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent(completionHandler:) method and then read the securityType property.

Hi Eskimo,

Thanks for your reply and I tried NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent(completionHandler:) method API and then read securityType property and the good thing is that it does work. Many thanks for suggesting this.

I have 2 more qs based on this.

1. Do I need any permissions to use this API?
2. NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent(completionHandler:) method API is available in ios 14.0+ and securityType property is available in ios 15.0+, so

is there a way to get security type in lower versions of ios (< 15.0)??

Do I need any permissions to use this API?

Any app can call this API.

See the doc comments in <NetworkExtension/NEHotspotNetwork.h> for info about the permission model.

NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent(completionHandler:) method API is available in iOS 14.0+ and securityType property is available in iOS 15.0+

Yep. It was a much-requested enhancement.

is there a way to get security type in lower versions of iOS (< 15.0)?

No.
