Connecting a Wireless Network programatically

[kanishk.kumar]

I have a requirement where the client needs to automatically connect to a active wireless network based on his location.

The requirement is such that whenever a hotspot is available (in the absence of the user’s home network), the client will automatically connect to a wireless network present in that location and everything in that app(Weather Information etc) should work in the presence of this active internet connection
While in presence of a secure Home network ( the user’s own hub), it should automatically demote the network selected previously from the wireless networks list, thus enabling the device to automatically connect to the secure Home network

Is there any api in iPhone SDK where we can implement this functionality?If yes, are these api private or public?Can we have access to these api for development?

AFAIK, it is not possible to programmatically connect to a wireless network (without using private API's, cudnt find those in my installed SDK).
FYI, Apple has been removing applications from AppStore that act as wireless sniffers. In any case, the API's are private and in violation of Apple's Dev Agreement. I've tried doing it to no avail, in case you do find any resource on it, do let me know. Currently im going the IP way & using reachability to go about doing some stuff on wireless... nt sure how far it'll go.
