Displaying Available WiFi Networks in an iOS App
Understanding the Problem and Requirements The goal of this blog post is to explain how to show available WiFi networks in a UITableView, similar to the iHome Connect app. This requires understanding the basics of networking, API calls, and iOS development. Background on WiFi Networking WiFi networks work by broadcasting a unique identifier called an SSID (Network Name) that can be detected by devices within range. When you connect to a WiFi network, your device sends a request to the network’s access point (AP), which then authenticates you and assigns you an IP address.
