Xcode – Connect to Wifi SSID and get SSID information

I have a react native app for iOS. I am using the the simulator via xCode for development.
I am trying to use the below library to get the SSID or even connect to an SSID but keep getting an internal error.

Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-wifi-reborn

I have Access WIFI Information enabled on xCode. I was getting an issue previously and by adding this it resolved it but now I get a response just as internal error.

Example

WifiManager.getCurrentWifiSSID().then(
ssid => {
console.log("Your current connected wifi SSID is " + ssid);
},
(err) => {
console.log("Cannot get current SSID! " + err);
}
);

Response

Cannot get current SSID! internal error

Note that on the simulator I do not see any Wifi Settings at all. Is this the issue? Must I use a physical device for this to work?

    Have you tried add the Hotspot Configuration Entitlement also?

    I should not be needed just to get the SSID, but I believe react-native-wifi-reborn requires it. I got internal errors when trying to connect to a protected SSID without it.

    From the link (https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-wifi-reborn) that you have provided:

    iOS
    You need use enable Access WIFI Information, with correct profile. Hotspot Configuration is required in order to connect to networks.

    com.apple.developer.networking.wifi-info and com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotConfiguration (if you need this) should be added to capabilities of your iOS app.

    iOS 13
    You need put "Privacy – Location When In Use Usage Description" or "Privacy – Location Always and When In Use Usage Description" in Settings -> info

    You should add these keys with description into Info.plist of your iOS app project.
