So last year I wrote my own APRS tracker using Pythonista.

APRS stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System

Using a python library for it and pythonistas access to location and the internet I was able to write my own software to report into the system using my Call Sign and display my location of aprs.fi

The following is my code which I never really tided up at all.

Why does Apple make it so hard to do the simplest of things. (Like on Windows and Android they have API’s for this.)

Like how is know what WIFI is around you going to hurt them or the End user.

That’s annoying... (Why do people not say the full truth in SO answers like seriously)

Hm... strangely that only shows the wifi I am connected to. The snippet (from SO) is supposedly supposed to show all networks.

So I am trying to convert the following to python (can’t code block it on mobile...)

@import SystemConfiguration.CaptiveNetwork;

/** Returns first non-empty SSID network info dictionary.
 *  @see CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo */
- (NSDictionary *)fetchSSIDInfo
{
    NSArray *interfaceNames = CFBridgingRelease(CNCopySupportedInterfaces());
    NSLog(@"%s: Supported interfaces: %@", __func__, interfaceNames);

    NSDictionary *SSIDInfo;
    for (NSString *interfaceName in interfaceNames) {
        SSIDInfo = CFBridgingRelease(
            CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo((__bridge CFStringRef)interfaceName));
        NSLog(@"%s: %@ => %@", __func__, interfaceName, SSIDInfo);

        BOOL isNotEmpty = (SSIDInfo.count > 0);
        if (isNotEmpty) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return SSIDInfo;
}

But even when I load the SystemConfiguration framework I can't make an instance of CaptiveNetwork. Or am I totally doing this wrong.

For pretrained models.

Possibly. I am still poking around in the list of frameworks and stuff. Looking for stuff that is possibly new in iOS 11.

Oh... so I guess my assumption that you probably already saw it was wrong.

I think this is how people normally use LMZA and why even a self compiled one causes Apple to flag it.
