How do I get the current wifi network name after Yosemite in Swift?

Question

In Mavericks I was using [CWInterface interface] to grab the currently connected network. That has been deprecated for Yosemite.

As usual Apple documentation provides no guidance on this topic.

So how can I get the currently connected Wifi network name in Yosemite with Swift?

Answer 1

Xcode 10.2 • Swift 5 or later • OSX Mojave

import CoreWLAN

var ssid: String {
    return CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(withName: nil)?.ssid() ?? ""
}

Answer 2

So I figured it out. If you pass nil to the interfaceName , it will give you the currently connected wifi network. You can then call ssid() to get the name of the network.

Like so: CWInterface(interfaceName: nil).ssid()
