wifi security types (WPA, WPA2, WEP ...)

Hello,

Can i get the wifi security types (WPA, WPA2, WEP ...) of my iPhone from an objective-c application and send them to another device?

Thanks

I’m not sure what you’re asking for here (the security supported by the device? or the security supported by the current network? or the security supported by nearby networks?) but I suspect that, regardless, the answer is that you can’t. iOS has very limited Wi-Fi management APIs, as listed in QA1942 iOS Wi-Fi Management APIs. You should look through that list to see if there’s anything to help you out, but I suspect not.
