This new version supports 2.4 GHz as well as 5 GHz networks, offers nicer graphs and more network details. UPDATE: I've released a completely new version for iOS 7 called WiFi Explorer. The app seems to work fine in iOS 5 and 6 with jailbreak. Also, it has not been tested in iOS 6 or higher. WiFi Analyzer is available in the Cydia Store, but keep in mind that it only supports the 2.4 GHz band and has limited support for 802.11n networks. With no access to these private frameworks for wifi scanning and with the restrictions of the sandbox environment in newer versions of iOS, the only option is to install and run the app in a 'jailbreak' device. Other reason is to give Apple the freedom to change different aspects of the library until it reaches maturity so that it can be used by developers in a safe manner.

One of them is to ensure that apps do not negatively affect the user experience, for example, by draining the battery. There are many reasons why these frameworks are kept private.

Well, the app will run but it will do nothing.

To make things worse, starting in iOS 5, apps cannot access the wifi card even when using the private framework, so users who had the app installed and upgrade to iOS 5 will not longer be able to run the app. Unfortunately, some system resources can only be accessed using these frameworks, and the wifi card in the iPhone is one of them. Private frameworks are libraries that cannot be used by third-party developers, as clearly stated in Apple's Developer Agreement. WiFi Analyzer and other wifi scanner apps for the iPhone were removed from the App Store in March, 2010 due to the use of private frameworks. On 05 Feb, 2013 By Adrian With 9 Comments
