I've spent hours trying to figure out a way to let CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo works on iOS 13 with no results, no matter location permissions status or the fact that my app configured the current Wi-Fi network the device is currently using via NEHotspotConfiguration. It just does not work.

I finally came out with the reliable solution to get the SSID through getConfiguredSSIDsWithCompletionHandler: method of NEHotspotConfigurationManager.

Here's a simple example:

static func retrieveCurrentSSID(  callback: @escaping ( String? ) -> Void ){
    NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.getConfiguredSSIDs { ( networkSSIDs ) in
        callback( networkSSIDs.first )
    }
}
