Apple80211 gone from 3.0b2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Apple have replaced Apple80211 with something called MobileWiFi which has
completely different methods. e.g.

_WiFiManagerClientCreate
_WiFiManagerClientScheduleWithRunLoop
_WiFiManagerClientSetType
_WiFiManagerClientCopyDevices
_WiFiDeviceClientRegisterPowerCallback
_WiFiDeviceClientRegisterLinkCallback
_WiFiDeviceClientGetInterfaceName
_WiFiManagerClientCopyProperty
_WiFiDeviceClientScanAsync
static void
CLWifiService::onWiFiDeviceClientScanCallback(__WiFiDeviceClient*, const
__CFArray*, WiFiError, void*)   // (used in locationd)

I can't figure out the params to the create method right now.

You need a special entitlement now, I wonder if Apple plan to sell it?

What do you mean, special entitlement... how do you know that?

Can I ask how to do it?
I've been trying to implement WiFi-scan application on 3.0.

It must be possible, since you just updated WiFiFoFum to be 3.0 compatible ;-)

It is possible...  It is even trivial.   If you have an app for 2.2.1 that uses 
the
Apple80211.framework, the fix is so easy you'll slap yourself on the back of 
the head
for 10 minutes... :-)  

Change this line:
libHandle =
dlopen("/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Apple80211", 
RTLD_LAZY);

To This line:

libHandle =
dlopen("/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/WiFiManager.bundle/WiFiManager", 
RTLD_LAZY);

Leave everything else the same, and enjoy.  You'll notice that there are some 
minor
differences in the data you get back, but, for the most part, everything should 
work
the same, and your app should start to function again using 3.0.   This has been
tested on 3.0GM.

Enjoy.

You cannot run it on simulator. dlopen returns NULL.
I confirmed wifi scanning works on both iPhone 3G (OS 3.0) and 3GS.

hoopsanity, first confirm that you are using all functions properly and check 
the
handle value too. It is working for me smoothly in the device(3.*).

Best of luck.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I tried simply copying the files
Apple80211/Apple80211.h and Apple80211/main.c into my XCode project, but when I 
ran
it it said it cannot find some bundle called Aeropuerto. Am I doing something 
wrong?

The Apple80211 API was hidden inside /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPConfiguration.bundle/IPConfiguration and still exists to this day (iOS 13.4.1)
