Sadly, this is the direction Apple has taken. You can try to ask them for an exception (I think for getting approved as a hotspot helper), but they refused my request. I don't even remember the right channel to ask.
I do recommend writing a Radar report indicating why you need the SSID.

My app doesn't want/need to be a 'hotspot helper', I just would like to obtain the current network's SSID string, if any. Using NEHotspotHelper seems like tremendous overkill (plus having to register the app as a 'hotspot helper') just to do this. Is there a simpler way?
