*shrug*. Some people at Apple try to provide the users with functionality they need. The more customers ask for something, the more likely Apple will be to provide it.
I am not hopeful. Apple doesn't seem to be budging on any of the requests I've ever made around WiFi. But not requesting it certainly won't help to get it.

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?
