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.
