[Bug]: iOS version 18+ cannot retrieve SSID(returns NULL)

[Casba43]

Platform

iOS 18

Plugin

network_info_plus

Version

6.1.4

Flutter SDK

3.29.0

Steps to reproduce

The error is reproduced when a iOS device of, from what I know, version 18+ tries to get the wifi name with the getWifiName() function it returns null. This while other iOS version do retrieve the SSID correctly

Code Sample

final fetchedWifiName = await NetworkInfo().getWifiName();
wifiName = fetchedWifiName?.replaceAll('"', '') ?? 'Unknown WiFi';
logger.f('ADHOC COMMISSIONING: $wifiName');

Have you read the documentation? Can you confirm that your app has com.apple.developer.networking.wifi-info entitlement? Because it seems like an issue with missing entitlement which is described in the README: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/tree/main/packages/network_info_plus/network_info_plus#ios-14
