Connectivity plugin needs to update for iOS 13 due to the change in CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo API #35332
Description
Quoted:
In iOS 13 the CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo C function will return nil under most circumstances,
except in some fairly restrictive cases.
More on this in this thread on the Apple Developers forum for further explorations.
This means apps may no longer be able to get network info
(most commonly the Wi-Fi network SSID) with the same set of permissions in iOS 13.
CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo is now only available to apps in three cases:
Apps with permission to access location
When the app is the currently enabled VPN app
When the app configured the WiFi network the device is currently using via NEHotspotConfiguration
Our connectivity plugin is using the CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo API so looks like we will need a solution to handle this. Or maybe update the document on connectivity plugin to add location permission.
