iOS Replacement for the Deprecated CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo (Availability - iOS 4.1–14.0)

Question

hello i am using cncopycurrentnetworkinfo for getting the data (ssid,bssid) for the connected wifi network but according to the link https://developer.apple.com/documentation/systemconfiguration/1614126-cncopycurrentnetworkinfo showing Deprecated and showing possible solution is using the method fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler:(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/nehotspotnetwork/3666511-fetchcurrentwithcompletionhandle) this is method of HotspotHelper and i also email [email protected] ask for that entitlement (com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotHelper) used by HotspotHelper but got rejected.

so is there any other possible solution?

I got the answer from apple developer forum

+fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler: does not require the Hotspot Helper entitlement. Unfortunately that fact is not documented officially (r. 74976266). Fortunately, there’s lots of good info about this method in the doc comments in <NetworkExtension/NEHotspotNetwork.h>.

here is the implemented example. hope this helps others

if (@available(iOS 14.0, *)) {
    [NEHotspotNetwork fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler:^(NEHotspotNetwork * _Nullable currentNetwork) {
       NSString  *strSSID = [currentNetwork SSID];
    }];
} else {

    NSArray *ifs = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *)CNCopySupportedInterfaces();
    
    NSDictionary *info;
    
    for (NSString *ifnam in ifs) {
        
        info = (__bridge_transfer NSDictionary *)CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo((__bridge CFStringRef)ifnam);
        
        if (info && [info count]) {
            
            NSString  *strSSID = [info objectForKey:@"SSID"];
            break;
        }
    }
}
