Programatically join Wi-Fi network on iOS with React Native wrapper for NEHotspotConfiguration

example.js

import { Platform, NativeModules } from 'react-native'

const IOSWifiManager = NativeModules.IOSWifiManager

const wifiConnect = (ssid) => (
  IOSWifiManager.connectToSSID(ssid)
)

const wifiConnectProtected = (ssid, password, isWep) => (
  IOSWifiManager.connectToProtectedSSID(ssid, password, isWep)
)

const wifiDisconnect = (ssid) => (
  IOSWifiManager.disconnectFromSSID(ssid)
)

const wifiCurrentSSID = () => (
  IOSWifiManager.currentSSID()
)

@douglasjunior I got my app rejected from Apple because of App-Prefs:root=WIFI. Please help.

Hi @saxenanickk, I will ask you the same question I asked to the @lefoy:

why you need to use this? I didn't have to use this in my project.

It's right there in the code: https://gist.github.com/douglasjunior/c2b43cee378b5d8ce6935d928ba6caaa#file-ioswifimanager-m-L98

Yes, but it is just a String in the code, you dont need to add this on the CFBundleURLSchemes.

If you look closer, the function constantsToExport is unused.

I didn't, I just used this code and they detected the string in the code.

I changed it to the Official Way of opening Settings.

Is there a way to list available wifi networks? We are doing an iot device that needs an external installer and want to let the customer select the network and enter a password on the installer's phone.
