I am searching for an answer to the above question for many days. Some related questions have been asked in StackOverflow, for example: this and this. However, they suggest that it's not possible.

I want to use the RSS from Wi-Fi devices (access points) for indoor localization. It's quite easy with Android devices, where certain permission to access the Wi-Fi module is required. However, with iOS (iPhones), I couldn't find a way.

A published journal has reported the indoor localization result using iPhone6 with Wi-Fi signals. But it doesn't say how did they do it. I had sent an email to the author of the paper, however, I couldn't get a reply.

Is there any way to access the Wi-Fi (scan the RSS of Wi-Fi devices) using iPhone? Has anybody done it?

If it's possible, a small hint or a small code snippet would be very helpful.

Thank you.

  • I'm aware of [the question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31555640/how-to-get-wifi-ssid-in-ios9-after-captivenetwork-is-deprecated-and-calls-for-wi/31590787). In fact, I had asked my question as a comment in the answers to that question. However, I need to get permission from Apple and need to register my application as Hotspot helper. I write my iOS for research proposes only, not for commercial propose. Hence, the solution does not help me a lot. – santobedi Jan 29 '19 at 03:01
