Even with the core location authorisations and the wifi capability, I'm not able to retrieve the SSID via the CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo (as reported here: https://github.com/HackingGate/iOS13-WiFi-Info)
Did anyone get the same problem?

I got the sample problem @AlexFlyce. After I upgrade iOS13 and XCode 11.1, CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo return NULL. It haven't any problem before my upgrade. Did anyone have solve the problem ?

Apparently it's a known issue from Apple side, and the best we can do is to submit more logs of the bug. (PS: If you reboot your phone, the bug won't appear anymore, so it's not even easy to reproduce at that point)
My biggest problem is that my app relies completely on this, and I'm getting bad reviews...

After installing the 13.3 GM release, I was able to get the command to working.

I was also able to get the FGRoute pod to work fine except for the FGRoute.getSSIDDATA() function as it's causing my application to crash, although I don't need that function.
