Hi I’m working on an app Called Wiux ( already on Android ) but one of my clients has a company with all iPhones so I need to develop the app for iOS, but I’m facing A huge wall, it’s an proactive wifi user experience monitor for distributed networks and the idea is that the app its sending every minute info about connectivity RSSI, which network , if is 2,4ghz or 5ghz channel used and device usage cpu ram etc but I find that is no getRSSI ( and I really need that data ) but some aps like iWifi or WiFi probe has that data and it works I check the reads with a phisical probe and my app on android and values match. i think maybe with NEHotspotHelper I could get the data but I don’t know how to ask to use it or if exist a dependency for quality monitoring that allows me to access that thow o info. ( And probably in the near future I face the same problem with LTE ( that I’m also monitoring with the app on Android and I think is going to be a problem on iOS )
iOS has a limited set of Wi-Fi APIs. See TN3111 iOS Wi-Fi API overview for a summary of what’s available.
Regarding signal strength specifically, I address that head on in iOS Network Signal Strength.
In short, you’re unlikely to be able to achieve your goal here.
Share and Enjoy
