Asked 9/7, 2015 at 14:36 Answered 9/4, 2017 at 17:29

I'd like to know if it is possible with swift to get a list scanned WIFI SSID from the iPhone ,( using APIs like MobileWiFi.framework or something else ) and see code examples about that (without Objective-C source code )

Any luck with getting a answer to this question? – Pitchblack 8/10, 2015 at 14:21

I dont think its possible ! It doesnt matter if its Swift or Objective-C nor C++, the basic principle of iOS is that only system can connect to WiFi or turn on off those system setting. All you can get is info about the currently connected network. App sandbox in ios limits all other possibility. – Pachisi 6/12, 2015 at 2:54

Are you on a jailbroken environment? I could potentially post an answer porting this old project to Swift. – Margarito 10/12, 2015 at 17:23

It is only possible to get the SSID of the network that you are currently connected to.

ohh, so there is no way to fetch all possible wifi SSIDs in iOS? – Centralize 8/8, 2019 at 12:38

It is officially not possible with any language (objective-c and swift). You can look at the answer given by an official apple stuff in the following url.

where the apple stuff says :

It's not possible to do this in any general way.

Also, you can take a look at the answer given by the same apple stuff in the following link :

where he/she also says :

NEHotspotHelper was not designed as a general purpose ‘list nearby Wi-Fi networks’ API.

You can only get your current SSID.
