NEHotspotConfigurationManager remove profile on exit

Question

Hi,

I was wondering would it be possible to remove a profile created via NEHotspotConfigurationManager created via SSID.

NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(myNetwork)

I seen in the documentation the use for:

func removeConfiguration(forSSID SSID: String)

However, my conscern is a user closing the app before the above function was called.

Is it possible to call this function during a "swipe, close" event?

Thanks in advance!

I presume by ‘“swipe, close” event’ you mean the user removing the app from the multitasking UI? If so, the answer is “It depends.” To wit:

If you’re app is in the foreground then removing it from the multitasking UI will invoke your
```
-applicationWillTerminate:
```
delegate method.
Likewise if your app is running in the background, for example, via a
```
UIApplication
```
background task.
If your app is suspended in the background, it will be removed from memory without any of your code running.
If your app is terminated in the background then, well, it’s already terminated.

Have you thought about using

joinOnce

? This creates a temporary Wi-Fi configuration, one that’s automatically removed once your app is no longer frontmost.
