Updated for iOS 13: Apple announced that iOS 13, the CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo API will no longer return valid Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID information.

If your app requires valid Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID information to function, you can do the following: · For accessory setup apps, use the NEHotSpotConfiguration API, which now has the option to pass a prefix of the SSID hotspot your app expects to connect to. · For other types of apps, use the CoreLocation API to request the user’s consent to access location information.

So, I updated the above solution in the following way:

Add this key to your info.plist:

 <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
 <string>Your Description</string>

Use the CoreLocation API to request the user’s consent to access location information.

private void GetLocationConsent()
{
    var manager = new CLLocationManager();
    manager.AuthorizationChanged += (sender, args) => {
        Console.WriteLine("Authorization changed to: {0}", args.Status);
    };
    if (UIDevice.CurrentDevice.CheckSystemVersion(8, 0))
        manager.RequestWhenInUseAuthorization();

}

Call the GetLocationConsent() function before calling the "CaptiveNetwork".

Thanks for the input @sheraz16.

Thank you, Sheraz16 I implemented it and it worked on my project, is there a way to get the signal strength of the WIFI?
