This is a new version of my shortcut for iOS.

I wanted to give you all an update on the progress.

Ive ended up re arranging way, way, more inside the shortcut than I initially thought. I ended up chasing my tail looking for a gremlin in the works. I never could find it till I got home last night. That let me actually trouble shoot, one of the dictionary look ups.

Change log

Name:
  • Changed name to "NetworkCheck" - I felt it provides a better idea of what your looking to accomplish vs simply the BSSID

Added:
  • Can enable wifi, if it was disabled.
  • Copy BSSID to clipboard, (local copy no syncing, and auto removal) automatically copied, primarily for use in the shortcut dictionary fields.
  • credits/disclaimer section.
  • Log the BSSID etc, * if you wish to log more information. A user notes section is provided.
  • Log resets, if you like clean logs.
  • Log includes
  1. Date
  2. SSID
  3. BSSID
  4. Defined AP name, if set
  5. Notes section.
  6. Device name - Track iOS device performing the task.
  • Preview/view logs inside the shortcut. No need to open the files app.
Bug fix:
  • More of a workaround. The vibrate option was placed in an if block. That block looks for the name iPad and if found disallows the vibrate option. Which is not iPad compatible. If iPhone is found, then it allows the vibrate option, because it is iPhone compatible.
  • I found the above vibrate option would cause the shortcut to crash on my iPad, if not done this way. Looks like another bug report to Apple.
  • The work around section is fully editable and the name can be changed, amended for users whom don't use iPad or iPhone as part of the device names.
Merged:
  • My separate BSSID and Reboot shortcuts.
Removed features:
  • Physical Location : Street
* I felt that most user's would not need this and if so we could look at it again as needed. For now, I simply decided that having a log file of the location even if its in the individual end users iCloud Drive is something I didn't want logged.
As an interim, I would suggest naming the AP's something distinctive within the shortcut for each place, home etc.
For advanced users they can always re add this feature.

  • Dropbox use is still an option for advanced users, however for simplification, initial setup is for use with iCloud Drive.

Temporarily removed:
  • Import questions, I wanted to give them more attention.
  • Shortcut will need to be directly edited.
  • With the import questions removed, appropriate locations within the shortcut are using placeholders.

I hope I have fixed all the issues, etc.
