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?
There's a long backstory to this. For details, see this (seven page!) DevForums thread.
<https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/11807>
As per the 'Correct Answer' in that thread, if you're not building a hotspot management API:
* there's little point requesting NEHotspotHelper access
* you should file a bug describing your requirements
<https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/>
Please post your bug number, just for the record.
Finally, if you're developing an in-house app then you might want to look at your MDM options. AFAIK MDM does not currently let you get at the SSID but it does let you get at a lot of other sensitive information that's not available via the SDK. A bug requesting MDM support for returning this value might get more traction.
Share and Enjoy
