I have a similar issue in my app. I have submitted a feedback form to Apple and got a response stating:

Potential fix identified - For a future OS update

So hopefully, this will be resolved before the final release (not in iOS 13 Beta 4 though).

For a workaround, you can set joinOnce = false in your NEHotspotConfiguration. In my app, it allowed me to access CNCopySupportedInterfaces, but required me to remove configuration every time my app was closed.

Hope it helps!

Edit:

It seems that in iOS 13 beta 5 issue no longer persists. In my application, I can access CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo again (thus confirming the Wi-Fi has been connected), no matter if NEHotspotConfiguration.joinOnce flag is set to true or false.
