Answer 1

Hello,
iOS does not have a general-purpose API for Wi-Fi scanning and configuration. However, it does support a wide range of special-purpose Wi-Fi APIs. Please see TN3111: iOS Wi-Fi API overview | Apple Developer Documentation So, you can try NEHotspotHelper API and the following code:

using NetworkExtension;
[assembly:Dependency(typeof(GetWifiListService))]
namespace WifiListXamarinSample.iOS
{
    public class GetWifiListService :IGetWifiListService
    {
        public GetWifiListService()
        {
        }

        public void GetWifiList()
        {
            var queue = new DispatchQueue("com.XXX.HotspotHelper");
            NEHotspotHelper.Register(null, queue, (cmd) =>
            {
                if (cmd.CommandType == NEHotspotHelperCommandType.FilterScanList)
                {
                    foreach (NEHotspotNetwork network in cmd.NetworkList)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(@"network.SSID = %@", network.Ssid);//you can try to return the network 
                    }
                }
            });
        }
    }
}

But I have to say, as noted at Appl's Doc, NEHotspotHelper is only useful for hotspot integration. Before using NEHotspotHelper, you must first be granted a special entitlement (com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotHelper) and send Hotspot Helper Request to Apple.
