A standalone app to resolve the SSID of the connected WiFi network on iOS, or simply: "Get my Wifi Name". This implementation uses the latest iOS APIs as of January 2025 and you need a target platform of iOS 15.0 or higher.
This code was created to be wrapped as a Flutter plugin, which you can find here: https://github.com/raoulsson/ssid_resolver_flutter
A short implementation that resolves the SSID of the connected WiFi network on iOS. After failing to get the library network_info_plus to do this, I decided to write my own plugin. This plugin is not production ready and should be used with caution.

Further relevant methods will be added soon.
In order for this to run, you need a target iOS of 15.0 or higher and the location services and wifi-info entitlements.
Add the following to your <project_root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist file:
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location to determine the WiFi information.</string>
<key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location to determine the WiFi information.</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location to determine the WiFi information.</string>
<key>com.apple.developer.networking.wifi-info</key>
<true/>
Open <project_root>/ios/Runner/Runner.xcodeproj in XCode and go to "Signing & Capabilities". Add the
"Access WiFi Information" capability.
