iPhone Wi-Fi Manager SDK

Question

I'm attempting several methods trying to enable/disable Wi-Fi (toggle). Here are some things I am trying:

//Enable
WiFiManagerClientEnable(WiFiManagerClientCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0));
//Disable
WiFiManagerClientDisable(WiFiManagerClientCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0));

-and-

//Enable
WiFiManagerClientSetProperty(WiFiManagerClientCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0), @"AllowEnable", kCFBooleanTrue);
//Disable
WiFiManagerClientSetProperty(WiFiManagerClientCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0), @"AllowEnable", kCFBooleanFalse);

Each of those end up crashing the app, even though I have an exception function (@try{}). I've imported the MobileWiFi.framework and everything, just cant seem to get this to work. Are these the correct methods I need to call to be able to enable/disable Wi-Fi?

NOTE: NOT FOR APP STORE :-)

I know this doesn't answer the question, but check out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2018110/accessing-using-the-mobilewifi-framework Do you know of any user mode apps that have been able to enable or disable wifi on a non-jailbroken iphone? There is a way to simply flag your app as requiring wifi but that's about all I know of. — Nimrod, Jan 13 '10 at 00:00

From Application

notify_post("com.yourcompany.yourapp.yournotification");

From Dylib

#import <SpringBoard/SBWiFiManager.h>

HOOK(SpringBoard, applicationDidFinishLaunching$, void, id app) {
    //Listen for events via DARWIN NOTIFICATION CENTER
    CFNotificationCenterAddObserver(CFNotificationCenterGetDarwinNotifyCenter(), NULL,
     &NotificationReceivedCallback, CFSTR("com.yourcompany.yourapp.yournotification"), NULL, 
      CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorCoalesce);
}

//THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
static void NotificationReceivedCallback(CFNotificationCenterRef center, 
                                            void *observer, CFStringRef name, 
                                            const void *object, CFDictionaryRef 
                                            userInfo) 
{ 
    [[objc_getClass("SBWiFiManager") sharedInstance] setWiFiEnabled:NO];
}

I tried [[objc_getClass("SBWiFiManager") sharedInstance] setWiFiEnabled:NO]; in a sample iOS 4.2.1 app but its doing nothing. Is it possible that the function call is not working because its from my app and its not a dylib loaded under SpringBoard? – Abhijeet Pathak Sep 06 '11 at 06:38

This will not work from an app and MUST be called from a .dylib. – WrightsCS Sep 06 '11 at 06:45

Okay thanks. I haven't developed .dylib till now. Can you please point me towards a link which explains how to develop dylib for iphone. Is this a normal dylib for springboard or something like mobilesubstrate toggle? – Abhijeet Pathak Sep 06 '11 at 06:49

You can scope out github.com .. there are plenty of open source tweaks there. – WrightsCS Sep 06 '11 at 06:50

To be clear, `SBWiFiManager` is a class that only exists in SpringBoard. To call it, one must be running inside SpringBoard as either a dynamic library or a framework. – rpetrich Sep 06 '11 at 18:25
Yes. Thank you. I am now trying to compile dylib (made with theos) but I am getting following error: "error: ‘objc_getClass’ was not declared in this scope" (along with many other errors). How to include objective c headers in theos? Also function 'HOOK' is not being recognized. – Abhijeet Pathak Sep 07 '11 at 05:28
I am still not able to use HOOK. – Abhijeet Pathak Sep 07 '11 at 05:40
If you are using logos try `%hook`. – WrightsCS Sep 07 '11 at 06:09
How can I use your kind of HOOK? – Abhijeet Pathak Sep 07 '11 at 06:27

Thanks!!! I got it working with theos using this tutorial :) http://brandontreb.com/beginning-jailbroken-ios-development-your-first-tweak/ – igbopie Jul 26 '12 at 15:19

You cannot disable WiFi on the phone. The user is responsible for this action through the Settings App, this capability is not available through the SDK.

Well, I'm not writing the code for the App Store, my project is setup to use Private Frameworks. – WrightsCS Jan 13 '10 at 02:57

Not sure why this was down-voted, it seemed an appropriate response to me. – Jayden Jan 28 '10 at 02:31
