I am working on a retail app. I would like to use the mobile app for allowing guests access to FREE Wi-Fi in their stores.

The ideal outcomes is if a user already has their mobile app, the user is automatically logged into the wi-fi without any manual intervention.

If the user does not have their mobile app, the user sees a Splash page and is given the option to download the mobile app. once the mobile app download is selected, he is given access to the network

3 specific questions:

  1. Is there a way in which an app can get access to all available WIFI SSID's seen by Iphone / Andriod? and can the App then join a chosen SSID? How is this done
  2. Is there a way in which the app then fills out the splash page information to get access? How is this done
  3. Is there a recommended best practices for enabling this- i know this more of an opinion, but looking for any examples I could learn from.

Thanks,

NB: I have tried splash pages / captive portals but don't want that additional step that causes friction in adoption
