api - Connect to WiFi programmatically in ios

Question

My question is about private API in IOS. Is there some API to manage WiFi connection? For example I'm using Apple80211.framework to scan WiFi networks but it's unusable for connecting.

My app isn't for appstore.

We can programmatically connect wifi networks after iOS 11 public API. You can connect wifi using SSID and password like following.

Swift

var configuration = NEHotspotConfiguration.init(ssid: "wifi name", passphrase: "wifi password", isWEP: false)
configuration.joinOnce = true

NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(configuration) { (error) in
    if error != nil {
        //an error occurred
        print(error?.localizedDescription)
    }
    else {
        //success
    }
}

Don't forget import NetworkExtension.
