Xamarin Forms: Show list of Wifi Network and Connect to One

Question

Is there a way to get the list of Wifi network for Xamarin Forms and connect to one (Both iOS and Android)?

I am getting some results from the Web but I couldn't find the connection between showing the list and connecting to one as the requirement is the SSID. And I couldn't find the SSID in the list.

Implement the function on each platform , and call it with dependency service . Detailed solution please refer https://spin.atomicobject.com/2018/02/15/connecting-wifi-xamarin-forms/. — ColeX, Aug 16 '19 at 12:06
Hi @ColeXia-MSFT, I already have seen the website. I just don't see how to get the list of wifi network and get the SSID. — Paula Kristin, Aug 18 '19 at 18:41

@PaulaKristin I am able to show list in android but not in iPhone, I am looking for iPhone specific code. — abpatil, Oct 23 '19 at 14:18

For Android:

wifiManager.ConfiguredNetworks.ForEach(n =>
            {
                Debug.WriteLine($"=== WifiNetwork : {n.Ssid} ===");
                Debug.WriteLine($"=== WifiNetwork : {n.HiddenSSID} ===");
                Debug.WriteLine($"=== WifiNetwork : {n.NetworkId} ===");
                Debug.WriteLine($"=== WifiNetwork : {n.ProviderFriendlyName} ===");
            });

These are the saved ones
