Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The wifi_scan package is a Flutter plugin that enables scanning for nearby visible Wi-Fi access points on Android and iOS devices. It provides a simple API to retrieve network details such as SSID, BSSID, signal strength, and security type. Ideal for applications requiring network discovery or location-based services, it operates efficiently without requiring root or special permissions beyond standard network access. The plugin is maintained by flutternetwork.dev and supports both major mobile platforms.

Use cases

  • Network discovery in apps
  • Location-based services
  • Wi-Fi diagnostics tools
  • IoT device setup
  • Automated network selection

Key features

  • Cross-platform support (Android & iOS)
  • Real-time Wi-Fi scanning
  • Access to SSID, BSSID, and signal strength
  • Simple asynchronous API
  • Open-source with public repository

Suitable for

  • Developers building network-aware apps
  • Apps needing Wi-Fi proximity detection
  • IoT and smart device integrations
  • Mobile utilities for network analysis

Considerations

  • Requires appropriate system permissions
  • Limited to visible networks only
  • Performance may vary on older devices
  • No background scanning on iOS
  • Depends on device hardware capabilities
