I'm very interested in whether it works and, if so, how the system decides to enable or not TFO when working with the network using URLSession. I didn't find any information in the documentation. For example, for NWConnection we need to manually add additional option: /* Allow fast open on the connection parameters */ parameters.allowFastOpen = true let connection = NWConnection(to: endpoint, using: parameters) /* Call send with idempotent initial data before starting the connection */ connection.send(content: initialData, completion: .idempotent) connection.start(queue: myQueue)

Hello, I am trying to apply ProxyConfiguration on the WebKit webview. I referred to the following sources: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/110312 and https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10002/ import WebKit class WebKitViewModel: ObservableObject { let webView: WKWebView @Published var urlString: String = "https://example.com" init() { webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero) } func loadUrl() { guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else { return } var request = URLRequest(url: url) let endpoint = NWEndpoint.hostPort(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 9077) let proxyConfig = ProxyConfiguration.init(httpCONNECTProxy: endpoint) let websiteDataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default() websiteDataStore.proxyConfigurations = [proxyConfig] webView.configuration.websiteDataStore = websiteDataStore webView.load(request) } } However, this configuration only works for HTTP proxies. When I try to use an HTTPS proxy, it does not work. When I use NWConnection to connect to the proxy, it works successfully: import Foundation import Network public class HTTPProxy { private let proxyHost: NWEndpoint.Host private let proxyPort: NWEndpoint.Port private var connection: NWConnection? public init(proxyHost: String, proxyPort: UInt16) { self.proxyHost = NWEndpoint.Host(proxyHost) self.proxyPort = NWEndpoint.Port(rawValue: proxyPort)! } public func sendHTTPRequest(completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) { let tlsOptions = NWProtocolTLS.Options() let parameters = NWParameters(tls: tlsOptions) connection = NWConnection(host: proxyHost, port: proxyPort, using: parameters) connection?.stateUpdateHandler = { [weak self] state in switch state { case .ready: self?.sendConnectRequest(completion: completion) case .failed(let error): completion(.failure(error)) default: break } } connection?.start(queue: .global()) } private func sendConnectRequest(completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) { guard let connection = connection else { completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "Connection not available", code: -1, userInfo: nil))) return } let username = "xxxx" let password = "xxxx" let credentials = "\(username):\(password)" guard let credentialsData = credentials.data(using: .utf8) else { print("Error encoding credentials") fatalError() } let base64Credentials = credentialsData.base64EncodedString() let proxyAuthorization = "Basic \(base64Credentials)" let connectString = "CONNECT api.ipify.org:80 HTTP/1.1\r\n" + "Host: api.ipify.org:80\r\n" + "Proxy-Authorization: \(proxyAuthorization)\r\n" + "Connection: keep-alive\r\n" + "\r\n" if let connectData = connectString.data(using: .utf8) { connection.send(content: connectData, completion: .contentProcessed { error in if let error = error { completion(.failure(error)) } else { self.receiveConnectResponse(completion: completion) } }) } } private func receiveConnectResponse(completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) { connection?.receive(minimumIncompleteLength: 1, maximumLength: 65536) { data, context, isComplete, error in if let data = data, let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { if responseString.contains("200 OK") { self.sendRequest(completion: completion) } else { completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "Failed to establish connection", code: -1, userInfo: nil))) } } else if let error = error { completion(.failure(error)) } } } private func sendRequest(completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) { guard let connection = connection else { completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "Connection not available", code: -1, userInfo: nil))) return } let requestString = "GET /?format=json HTTP/1.1\r\n" + "Host: api.ipify.org\r\n" + // "Proxy-Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxx\r\n" + "Connection: keep-alive\r\n" + "\r\n" print("Sending HTTP request:\n\(requestString)") if let requestData = requestString.data(using: .utf8) { connection.send(content: requestData, completion: .contentProcessed { error in if let error = error { completion(.failure(error)) } else { self.receiveResponse(completion: completion) } }) } } private func receiveResponse(completion: @escaping (Result<String, Error>) -> Void) { connection?.receive(minimumIncompleteLength: 1, maximumLength: 65536) { data, context, isComplete, error in if let data = data, !data.isEmpty { print ("Data: \(data)") if let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { print("Received response:\n\(responseString)") completion(.success(responseString)) } else { completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "Invalid response data", code: -1, userInfo: nil))) } } else if let error = error { completion(.failure(error)) } if isComplete { self.connection?.cancel() self.connection = nil } else { self.receiveResponse(completion: completion) } } } } This approach works for connecting to the proxy, but it does not help with configuring the proxy for WebKit. Could someone please assist me in configuring a proxy for WebKit WebView to work with HTTPS proxies? Thank you!

I am applying for the NEHotspot API Entitlement with the details below, but Apple has rejected it multiple times. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong? Q. In how many countries are your hotspots located? A - 1 Q. What is the approximate total number of hotspots you manage? A - 1000 Q. Which of the following best explains the relationship between you, the app publisher, and the users of these hotspots? A - These hotspots are free for anyone to use. Hotspot Helper API usage Q. A hotspot helper must claim the hotspot networks that it supports by setting a confidence value of either .low or .high when responding to the .evaluate command. See Figure 1-1 in Hotspot Network Subsystem Programming Guide for more background on this. When the helper claims a network, its display name (kNEHotspotHelperOptionDisplayName) is shown in Settings &amp;gt; Wi-Fi. What value do you intend to use for this? A - BSSID(MAC) Q. When responding to the .authenticate command, you system must interact with your hotspot to instruct it to pass traffic from the device to the wider internet. What network protocols does it use? A - DNS , HTTP Q. Provide any additional details about your usage to help us understand your planned implementation. A - We are implementing the following functionalities in our project: Connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot with a specified SSID. Remove Wi-Fi configurations for specific SSIDs. Initialize a new hotspot configuration with the specified SSID.

Hello all, I am working on a project to connect to infra-WIFI via hotspot 2.0 (passpoint in WiFi alliance) from a loyalty app (to load trust anchor and client certificate) into iOS device using EAP-TLS. Apple's documentation only describe generic hotspot 2.0 support (probably R1). The UX for loading certificate is not user friendly compare with Android. I wish to confirm if iOS can support Passpoint R2 / R3 from apple to complete the App UX design. Please advise. Thanks. I am not doing EAP-AKA like what mobile telco ATT does for cellular offload to infrastructure WiFi for data traffic. This URL outline what is passpoint well for reference. https://syndicated.wifinowglobal.com/resource/secure-and-seamless-carrier-wi-fi-services-with-passpoint/

I am developing a watchOS-only app, and whenever I attempt to make a network request, it always fails and throws the following error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 "The Internet connection appears to be offline." I noticed that when I turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the settings of the iPhone paired with the Apple Watch (thus disconnecting the Apple Watch from the iPhone), my app can successfully connect to the network. Additionally, when the app contains both an iOS app and a watchOS app, after granting network permissions on the iOS app, the watchOS app can access the network normally when connected to the iPhone. When opening some system apps on the Apple Watch (such as the "Workout" app), the app will display a network permission request similar to that on iOS, but this request does not automatically pop up when my watchOS app attempts to access the network. Is there a way to request network permissions in a watchOS-only app so that it can access the network while connected to the iPhone?

I want to make a program which configures my Mac to broadcast a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot: a peer-to-peer network without an internet connection which is joinable by other devices including non-Apple devices (e.g. Android devices). This connection would allow for low latency comunication between external devices and my Mac without the need for extra Wi-Fi router hardware. From my understanding, the Mac network interface must be configured to be in Host AP (Access Point) mode so that it can host other connections. How can I write a program which enables Host AP mode and broadcasts a Wi-Fi hotspot from my Mac? Note: I do not want to create an Ad-Hoc (IBSS) connection because Android devices do not support joining this kind of Wi-Fi connection. Many years ago, it was possible to set the Mac Wi-Fi interface to Host AP mode via a function in CoreWLAN: CWInterface.startHostAPModeWithSSID. You can see this function referenced in this gist. But sadly, this function is no longer accessible. At this point in time, I see no way in the CoreWLAN library to set a CWInterface to be in hostAP interface mode, although the CWInterfaceMode.hostAP enumeration suggests this is possible. It is possible to enable Host AP mode via the Settings app > Sharing > Internet Sharing settings. But this requires a legitimate internet connection to be present. For my use case, I do not want a connection to the internet. I simply want to allow devices to communicate with my Mac directly, peer-to-peer over Wi-Fi. Is there any alternative? Could I implement this functionality in a Network Extension or Kernel Extension? Thank you all for any help you can provide!

It looks like that, with Sequoia, it is not possible to open an NSURLSession or any other TCP connection to a machine on the local network if the application is not in the "Applications" folder. That is pretty inconvenient when debugging or running via Xcode since the build folder is not within the Applications folder. And, yes, the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription key and description strings are in the Info.plist file (and it asks for permission). How can we expect to debug applications like that ? Is anybody else experiencing this ?

Hi Team, We are trying to set MDM with NETransparentProxyManager to auto-approve the proxy, but it did not work. We have tried the below Apple document for NETransparentProxyManager. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/vpn/transparentproxy. Attached is the config file. ApplicationProxy.VPN.mobileconfg.txt could you please suggest how to configure NETransparentProxyManager via MDM?

I've followed all the advice on these forums regarding developing network extensions. I'm working on a FilterDataProvider using the SimpleFirewall example project as a starting point. The issue I run into is that the copy of the extension binary that the system manages does not get updated by the system when I copy a new application into the /Applications directory. Here's my workflow: Build and run the application from Xcode. I've added a pre-run action that copies the extension into a /Applications/SysExtDev folder so I don't have to disable SIP. Test & make changes to code Disable & remove the extension in Settings > Network > Filters & Proxies Build and run the application from Xcode. New app binary loads, but the old extension binary loads. I also notice that the app will report that the extension is already registered even when it's not present in the UI in System Settings. And when I enable the extension in the newly launched app, I don't see the full flow of confirmation dialogs, only one indicating that the app wants to filter network content. If I run: ❯ diff /Applications/SysExtDev/SimpleFirewall.app/Contents/Library/SystemExtensions/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension /Library/SystemExtensions/44022C0D-8BBA-4783-8314-83195A516DB5/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension Binary files ... and ... differ it indicates that the binaries are not the same. In order to resolve this issue I usually have to wait around for awhile and/or reboot the machine. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it. I've tried removing the old app from /Applications before building the new copy but that doesn't seem to help either. The way I know things are going to work is, if when I launch and enable the extension, I see the full onboarding flow asking me to open settings and allow under privacy and security. I have tried running $ systemextensionsctl uninstall 2U6G6353D3 com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension but that requires SIP to be disabled. I'm really close to just throwing in the towel and developing with SIP disabled. However, I feel like I must be missing something. Do I need to bump the version every time? Do I need to kill the extension process with launchctl so it can be cleaned up? Do I have to tickle the launch services or sfl db? What am I missing?

Hi, I'm using Multipeer Connectivity in my application and when I run it on my physical device, I receive following warning: NSNetServiceBrowser did not search with error dict [{ NSNetServicesErrorCode = "-72008"; NSNetServicesErrorDomain = 10; }]. I've found out that this is associated with not having proper permissions in info.plist according to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/653316 I've set description for Privacy - Local Network Usage Description, however, I'm not able to find any key for setting my Bonjour Services. Also, I do not see any popup on my device displaying request to approve local network usage. Could you please provide me an information how can I register my privileges properly?

Hi, I had a Content Filter network extension. It is successfully working until Sonoma. I try to install and activate same network extension on Sequoia beta Intel Mac. But even I haven't got any user consent to activate and allow it. I haven't found any entry in Network settings. Do we need to make any changes in Sequoia MacOs to make it work? Thank you.

I have the following scenario in my VPN app. When app is configured with split tunneling, the vpn dns nameservers are defined in /etc/resolver/example.com (example.com is the domain to be resolved through tunnel) and secondary vpn dns server is configured as 8.8.8.8 (google public dns server) and primary as 3.92.179.203. With the following configuration the dns request are not routed through the tunnel, when I try to ping example.com it does not use 3.92.179.203. Explicit routes are added in the routing table to route the traffic to 3.92.179.203 via VPN interface. It used to work on older macOS versions 12.6 from 14.4 it seems broken system behaves differently when 8.8.8.8 is defined as a vpn nameserver. DNS requests does not go through tunnel it is resolved outside tunnel. If I use 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 or anyother nameserver other than 8.8.8.8 then it all works correctly.

I am working on an app which is capturing photos and uploading them to a server. I have followed the URLSession configuration to properly support background transfers. However, I am now noticing that my photos are uploading way slower, even when the user has the app open and is interacting with the app. This is undesirable because the changes need to be reflected in real time to the server when the user is active in the app. Previously, when I was just using URLSession.shared.uploadTask with a completion handler, the photos uploaded right away in a matter of 1-2 seconds. Now it is taking 3-4 minutes per photo to upload. The photos are roughly 3mb in size each. I have tried setting the isDiscretionary property explicitly to false to no avail. Sometimes the users are without internet connection, which is why I wanted to use the background session (so that the uploads can be automatically retried by the system when the user connects back to the internet) So, in summary, I want the functionality of the background uploading (and to let the system retry when the user transitions from offline to online) however I also need realtime uploading when the user is interacting with the app. What is the preferred way to solve this problem?

Our macOS application (running as a LaunchDaemon) has been able to report the current Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID (if connected) using the airport command. Since airport has been removed from macOS, we have not been able to collect BSSID information. First, I demonstrate that the BSSID exists: I can option-click the Wi-Fi status menu icon and see the following: Wi-Fi Interface Name: en0 Address: a8:8f:d9:52:10:7d * * * Enable Wi-Fi Logging Create Diagnostics Report... Open Wireless Diagnostics... * * * Known Network polymorphic IP Address: 192.168.86.50 Router: 192.168.86.1 Security: WPA2 Personal BSSID: 88:3d:24:ba:36:81 Channel: 149 (5 GHz, 80 MHZ) Country Code: US RSSI: -60 dBm Noise: -89 dBm Tx Rate: 520 Mbps PHY Mode: 802.11ac MCS Index: 5 NSS: 2 * * * Other Networks * * * Wi-Fi Settings... This says to me that: The WiFi router I am connected to has SSID = polymorphic. The WiFi router I am connected to has BSSID = 88:3d:24:ba:36:81. My computer's Wi-Fi hardware has MAC address = a8:8f:d9:52:10:7d. My computer's Wi-Fi interface name = en0. To get this information now (from within an application), I have attempted to run: /usr/sbin/networksetup -listallhardwareports The output of that command includes the following Hardware Port: Wi-Fi Device: en0 Ethernet Address: a8:8f:d9:52:10:7d To get the SSID, I can then execute: $ /usr/sbin/networksetup -getairportnetwork en0 Current Wi-Fi Network: polymorphic But I still can't get the router's BSSID. So I try $/usr/sbin/networksetup -getinfo 'Wi-Fi' DHCP Configuration IP address: 192.168.86.50 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.86.1 Client ID: IPv6: Automatic IPv6 IP address: none IPv6 Router: none Wi-Fi ID: a8:8f:d9:52:10:7d Still no new information. $ /usr/sbin/networksetup -getmacaddress en0 Ethernet Address: a8:8f:d9:52:10:7d (Device: en0) This is not helpful either. Let's try another approach: $ /usr/sbin/netstat -nr -f inet | grep ^default default 192.168.86.1 UGScg en0 This tells me that my router's IP address is 192.168.86.1. The arp tool should be able to translate $ /usr/sbin/arp -a -n | grep "(192.168.86.1)" ? (192.168.86.1) at 88:3d:24:ba:36:7f on en0 ifscope [ethernet] This tells me that the router's MAC address is "88:3d:24:ba:36:7f", but it is not the same value as the router's BSSID, which we know to be 88:3d:24:ba:36:81! Another approach. I wrote the following Swift program: import CoreWLAN let c : CWWiFiClient = CWWiFiClient.shared() if let ifs : [CWInterface] = c.interfaces() { for i in ifs { print( i.interfaceName ?? "<nil>", i.powerOn(), i.ssid() ?? "<nil>", i.bssid() ?? "<nil>") } } When executing it with swift, I got: en0 true polymorphic <nil> So for some reason, the CoreWLAN API is hiding the BSSID, but not the SSID. When I use swiftc to compile before executing, I get: en0 true <nil> <nil> Why is the CoreWLAN API now hiding the SSID as well? I even tried an Objective-C program: // Link with: // -framework Foundation // -framework CoreWLAN #include <stdio.h> #include <CoreWLAN/CoreWLAN.h> void printWifi() { NSArray<CWInterface*>* ifs = [[CWWiFiClient sharedWiFiClient] interfaces]; for (CWInterface* i in ifs) { printf("%s %s %s %s\n", [i.interfaceName UTF8String], [i powerOn] ? "true" : "false", [[i ssid] UTF8String], [[i bssid] UTF8String]); } } int main() { printWifi(); return 0; } It prints out: en0 true (null) (null) Based on https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/131636, I tried // Link with: // -framework Foundation // -framework CoreWLAN // -framework CoreLocation #include <stdio.h> #include <CoreWLAN/CoreWLAN.h> #include <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h> void printWifi() { NSArray<CWInterface*>* ifs = [[CWWiFiClient sharedWiFiClient] interfaces]; for (CWInterface* i in ifs) { printf("%s %s %s %s\n", [i.interfaceName UTF8String], [i powerOn] ? "true" : "false", [[i ssid] UTF8String], [[i bssid] UTF8String]); } } CLLocationManager* startCoreLocation() { CLLocationManager* mgr = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; [mgr requestAlwaysAuthorization]; [mgr startUpdatingLocation]; return mgr; } int main() { CLLocationManager* locMgr = startCoreLocation(); printWifi(); return 0; } That change did not seem to make a difference. After more work, I found that I can not even figure out CLLocationManager authorization. So I attempted to create a minimal program that can get that: https://github.com/HalCanary/location. I am not sure how to proceed here. What is wrong with my location code? Will our application need to get the com.apple.security.personal-information.location entitlement in order to get the BSSID?

Hi, I'm responsible for extending my company's Firewall application with MacOS support. The easiest and fastest way requires a simple API similar to netmap/nfq in Unix/Linux systems or NDIS/WinDivert in Windows platform where All network traffic passing NIC's or WiFi adapter should beforwarded to our FW application, FW application should process the raw packets with its own connection tracking mechanism, modify them if needed, generate new ones if needed, FW application should inject forwarded or new packets to continue their ways. In other words, the required API should stand between NIC/WiFi driver and networking stack and allow packet manipulation. My questions follow: I can't decide on which method to focus further, throughout three alternatives; kext - It can satisfy the requirements, but deprecated, difficult to progress and have no guarantee to be applicable in future versions of MacOS, am I right ? networkingdriverkit - It can satisfy the requirements, am I right ? networkextension - can it satisfy the requirements? Also there is a serious performance problem as mentioned in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757071. Can anyone help me to decide on the most proper method for? Thanks.

Hi, I'm using network extension on my VPN app. I'm override the sleep method and send some data to my server when the method call. I noticed that the server requests are succeeded when I'm connecting with a WiFi networks and failed when I'm connecting with cellular networks. Does the OS blocks immediately the connectivity when I'm on the cellular networks and the device enter to sleep?

Using NWBrowser and NWListener I'm trying to send a small package of data from the listener/server to the device. However the device never receives the actual bytes. It either: gets stuck the preparing state the connection gets reset the data is null and is marked as isComplete = true The only way I can get the device to receive the data is by calling cancel on the NWConnection on the server/NWListener end. Here is some sample code I am working with: https://github.com/leogdion/JustBonjour/tree/nwlistener Is this expected behavior that cancel is required?

So for context I am building an app where the Apple Watch establishes a WatchConnectivity session with the parent iPhone app and streams audio data from the watch Mic to the iPhone for processing on Deepgram to perform STT. This works very well, unless I tilt my wrist and the display goes to sleep. What I find strange is that due to the mic being in use on my watch, the app is still showing on the always on display and is still trying to send the audio data to my phone in the background (which is perfect!) but the iPhone does not seem to be responding. So my watch code is: private func sendData(_ data: Data) { let dict: [String: Any] = ["audioData": data] session.sendMessage(dict, replyHandler: nil, errorHandler: { error in print("Failed to send data: \(error.localizedDescription)") }) } and my Xcode logs Failed to send data: WatchConnectivity session on paired device is not reachable. So the watch is still running the process but because session.isReachable is false the audio data is not sent which it should be! Is there any way to keep the connection established and data sharing when the display dims?

When using Network framework, is it possible to set NWProtocolTLS behave like TLS Server or Client? In CFNetwork there is a kCFStreamSSLIsServer key which I could not find the same thing in Network. I currently try to implement something like STARTTLS, both client and server side, after connection and some message, the client will behave like a TLS SERVER, and the connection in server(NWListener) will behave like a TLS CLIENT. That's why i need to set something like kCFStreamSSLIsServer In Swift-NIO, this can be easily implemented by adding a NIOSSLClientHandler or NIOSSLServerHandler Below it's what I got currently based on another post in community // main.swift import Foundation import Network let params = NWParameters.tcp let framer = STARTTLSFramer.options() params.defaultProtocolStack.applicationProtocols = [framer] let connection = NWConnection( host: .ipv4(IPv4Address("127.0.0.1")!), port: .init(integerLiteral: 8089), using: params) connection.stateUpdateHandler = { newState in print("connection newState \(newState)") } connection.start(queue: .main) RunLoop.main.run() // STARTLSFramer.swift import Foundation import Network final class STARTTLSFramer: NWProtocolFramerImplementation { static let label: String = "STARTTLSFramer" init(framer: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) {} func handleOutput( framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance, message: NWProtocolFramer.Message, messageLength: Int, isComplete: Bool ) { fatalError() } func wakeup(framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) { fatalError() } func stop(framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) -> Bool { true } func cleanup(framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) {} func start(framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) -> NWProtocolFramer.StartResult { instance.writeOutput(data: Data("hello\n".utf8)) return .willMarkReady } private var accumulated = Data() func doUpgrade(instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) { let tlsOptions = NWProtocolTLS.Options() sec_protocol_options_set_min_tls_protocol_version(tlsOptions.securityProtocolOptions, .TLSv12) // load identity let secIdentity = createSecIdentity()! let identity = sec_identity_create(secIdentity) sec_protocol_options_set_local_identity(tlsOptions.securityProtocolOptions, identity!) try! instance.prependApplicationProtocol(options: tlsOptions) instance.passThroughOutput() instance.passThroughInput() instance.markReady() } func handleInput(framer instance: NWProtocolFramer.Instance) -> Int { repeat { let success = instance.parseInput(minimumIncompleteLength: 1, maximumLength: 2048) { buffer, _ in let count = buffer?.count ?? 0 if let buffer { accumulated.append(contentsOf: buffer) } return count } if !success { break } } while true // some validation self.accumulated.removeAll() self.doUpgrade(instance: instance) return 0 } static func options() -> NWProtocolFramer.Options { let startTLSDef = NWProtocolFramer.Definition(implementation: STARTTLSFramer.self) let result = NWProtocolFramer.Options(definition: startTLSDef) return result } }

I want to extend an existing macOS app distributed through the Mac App Store with the capability to track the Wi-Fi's noise and signal strength along with the SSID it is connected to over time. Using CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(), I can get noiseMeasurement() and rssiValue() fine, but ssid() always returns nil. I am assuming this is a privacy issue (?). Are there specific entitlements I can request or ways to prompt the user to grant the app privilege to access the SSID values?
