but this example is only for currenlty connected networks. Not for all available in range — SergStav, Nov 18 '15 at 17:42
NSDictionary *wifiDetails() { CFArrayRef interfaces = CNCopySupportedInterfaces(); CFDictionaryRef captiveNtwrkDict = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo(CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(interfaces, 0)); NSDictionary *dict = ( __bridge_transfer NSDictionary*) captiveNtwrkDict; CFRelease(interfaces); return dict; } — Larry Pickles, Nov 19 '15 at 00:40

Technically yes you can get that info. Take a look at this project for example: https://code.google.com/p/iphone-wireless/

However, according to AppStore terms and conditions you are only allowed to get the SSID of the network you are currently connected to but your are not allowed to publish an app that uses private libraries. Take a look at this issue How do I use CaptiveNetwork to get the current WiFi Hotspot Name

I think you mean "but you're **not** allowed". – rmaddy Nov 18 '15 at 16:50

You can do this with abilities of the system, but you can't publish it on the appstore because it is private api.

Without the use of private library (Apple80211) it will not provide you other reachable wifi list or other info.

You can refer to: How do I use CaptiveNetwork to get the current WiFi Hotspot Name for more information.
