We used to use this to get the current Wi-Fi network name (our app connects to our hardware via Wi-Fi, and we use the network name to help guide the user when problems arise). Then the call went away. Looking online, it seems some people say it came back in iOS 9 GM, but I don't recall that ever working again. We ended up removing the functionality and unfortunately, our users suffer a bit more when problems arise. It sounds like you're saying it's supposed to be there, although it also sounds like it's buggy, at best. -- Rick Mann rm...@latencyzero.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
