My app need to help my iot device to connect wifi.
So, I need to get the current wifi list from iPhone.
I applied Hotspot Helper permission before, but always rejected.
Apple Developer Relations tell me to use Configuring a Wi-Fi Accessory to Join the User’s Network, but I can't find any api for get wifi list.
I want to know if there are any other ways to get current wifi list from iPhone.
This is a popular question. Start by reading TN3111: iOS Wi-Fi API overview.
I want to know if there are any other ways to get current wifi list from iPhone.
There are not. But if you already know (or can, for example, scan from a barcode) the accessory’s SSID, or at least the first 3 characters of the SSID, then NEHotspotConfiguration’s init(ssid:) and init(ssidPrefix:) are designed for this case.
If that’s not possible, then see this thread for recent discussion of the same issue and some ideas.
if I want to get the ssid list, must use the
NEHotspotHelperAPI. yes or no?
No. As it says in the docs:
NEHotspotHelper is only useful for hotspot integration [1]. There are both technical and business restrictions that prevent it from being used for other tasks, such as accessory integration or Wi-Fi based location.
When TN3111:
iOS does not have a general-purpose API for Wi-Fi scanning
believe it. We don’t put concrete statements like that in our docs accidentally.
Share and Enjoy
