iOS Question iOS 12 Get SSID of Connected Network

[simplypats]

We are connecting to a device via WiFi and need to check the SSID of the connected device.

Until iOS 12 was release the following code worked well

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...vailable-wifi-network-in-range-in-i-os.52578/

However with iOS 12 no SSID information is returned.

We created a new App Id and enabled Access WiFi Information service enabled (with thanks to Erel and Tufanv) We are currently running B4i 5.3

Is there any new way of getting the SSID of the connected network or any configuration such as a PlistExtra setting which we need to implement.

Haven't developed with B4i for a long time but saw this post on StackOverFlow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...guration-captivenetwork-doesnt-work-on-ios-12

If it is possible to do that with B4i, I don't know since as I said, it's been a long time I did something with iOS. Perhaps others can help you.

Thanks for the suggestion moster67.

We have looked at quite a few posts around the internet, including those on Stack OverFlow, but nothing really addresses the query.

We are currently looking at another method as a fall back, which in theory should work, and early testing looks promising.

Hi,

Until iOS 12 was release the following code worked well

The code will also work fine with iOS 12, add the following Entitlement to your project attributes section:

#Entitlement: <key>com.apple.developer.networking.wifi-info</key><true/>

Thank you very much Jan I will give it a go.

Just an update to this thread,

Adding the Entitlement above to the project attributes section has worked and the SSID of the connected network is now being returned.

Many Thanks to Jan and moster67

Did not work for me.

I get the following error when compiling.

Provisioning profile "Turbo3Wildcard2" doesn't support the Access WiFi Information capability. (in target 'B4iProject')
