I have a single ssid that I would like to connect users to, which I can do easily with the NetworkExtension api.
The only additional feature I want to add is being able to detect the availability of the ssid before connecting to it.
I have checked the forums and looked through things like the Hotspot Helper Docs.
From what I can tell, this just isn't possible. So, two questions I have:
Thanks!
Is this definitely impossible? Any recommended alternatives for simulating this type of behavior? [/quote]
Yes. iOS has no general-purpose Wi-Fi scanning API, something we specifically call out in TN3111 iOS Wi-Fi API overview.

It depends on the context.
Most folks asking this question are working with a Wi-Fi accessory. In that case, I recommend you have a read of Working with a Wi-Fi Accessory, accessible from my Extra-ordinary Networking post.
Share and Enjoy
