Question

Im trying to use this code to get SSID

import Foundation
import SystemConfiguration.CaptiveNetwork

public class SSID {
    class func getSSID() -> String         


        

Answer 1

In Swift 3 (works in real device and simulator):

import SystemConfiguration.CaptiveNetwork

internal class SSID {
    class func fetchSSIDInfo() ->  String {
        var currentSSID = ""
        if let interfaces:CFArray = CNCopySupportedInterfaces() {
            for i in 0..<CFArrayGetCount(interfaces){
                let interfaceName: UnsafeRawPointer = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(interfaces, i)
                let rec = unsafeBitCast(interfaceName, to: AnyObject.self)
                let unsafeInterfaceData = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo("\(rec)" as CFString)
                if unsafeInterfaceData != nil {

                    let interfaceData = unsafeInterfaceData! as Dictionary!
                    currentSSID = ((interfaceData as? [String : AnyObject])?["SSID"])! as! String

                }
            }
        }
        return currentSSID
    }
}

Usage:

SSID.fetchSSIDInfo()

//will return "" if no connected wifi or running in simulator

The following function return the wifi name and the Mac address

    func getNetworkInfo()->(success:Bool,ssid:String,mac:String){
      var currentSSID:String = ""
      var macAdrees:String = ""
      var succes:Bool = false
      let interfaces:CFArray! = CNCopySupportedInterfaces()
      for i in 0..<CFArrayGetCount(interfaces){
        let interfaceName: UnsafePointer<Void>
        =  CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(interfaces, i)
        let rec = unsafeBitCast(interfaceName, AnyObject.self)
        let unsafeInterfaceData = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo("\(rec)")
        if unsafeInterfaceData != nil {
            let interfaceData = unsafeInterfaceData! as Dictionary!
            currentSSID = interfaceData["SSID"] as! String
            macAdrees = interfaceData["BSSID"] as! String
            succes = true
        } else {
            currentSSID = ""
        }
    }

    return (succes, currentSSID, macAdrees)
}

This code works fine. You will note some warning in your development target >= iOS9

All the presented at the moment solutions seems rather complex, with ugly unsafe casts.

I was able to craft such a concise solution (with no black magic at all):

import Foundation
import SystemConfiguration.CaptiveNetwork

func getSSID() -> String? {
    var ssid: String?
    if let interfaces = CNCopySupportedInterfaces() as NSArray? {
        for interface in interfaces {
            if let interfaceInfo = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo(interface as! CFString) as NSDictionary? {
                ssid = interfaceInfo[kCNNetworkInfoKeySSID as String] as? String
                break
            }
        }
    }
    return ssid
}

Swift 4 version

import SystemConfiguration.CaptiveNetwork


func getSSID() -> String? {
    guard let interface = (CNCopySupportedInterfaces() as? [String])?.first,
        let unsafeInterfaceData = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo(interface as CFString) as? [String: Any],
        let ssid = unsafeInterfaceData["SSID"] as? String else{
            return nil
    }
    return ssid
}
