*iOS has limited functionality as Apple's WifiManager equivalent is only available as a private API. Any app that used these features would not be allowed on the app store.*

## 2.1.x No Longer Supported/Maintained

Version 2.1.x of this plugin is no longer supported or maintained (but pull requests are welcomed), as this plugin has progressed to version 3.x.x+ since the origin fork. This includes a complete switch to promise based functions, new features, and much more to come.

## Async Handling
Because Cordova `exec` calls are made asynchronously, there are helper functions you can call for each function, by appending `Async` to the end of the function name. Those functions will return the results, or a JavaScript error. You should use `await` and `try/catch` blocks. See below for more details, and examples.

Promises are handled by the [Cordova PromisesPlugin](https://github.com/vstirbu/PromisesPlugin) as an ES6 polyfill if your application does not already define `window.Promise`

It is strongly recommended to use the async functions instead of callbacks, but the choice is up to you, callbacks are still supported and will remain supported for backwards compatibility.

## Coming Soon
If you are interested in using the latest and greatest, please see the [3.0.0 branch](https://github.com/tripflex/WifiWizard2/tree/3.0.0) of this project, which I recommend using over the master branch. This includes a complete switch to promise based functions, new features, and much more to come. Make sure you read the [README for 3.0.0 branch](https://github.com/tripflex/WifiWizard2/blob/3.0.0/README.md) if you plan on using it.

After my initial fork of WifiWizard, and the push towards version 3.0.0, i've also realized that there's now a huge need for refactoring/organizing/cleaning the codebase for this project. If anybody is interested in helping contribute to this project, please feel free to open an issue or contact me.

Please check out the [Pull Request for 3.0.0](https://github.com/tripflex/WifiWizard2/pull/8) to see the latest progress and current status of everything

##### Async WiFi Class

Below is an example class you can use for connecting to WiFi networks on Android.

You will notice there is a `timeout` method that simulates a synchronous timeout/delay/pause, as well as calls to `SUIBlock` which is from my [Meteor Semantic UI Blocker plugin](https://github.com/tripflex/meteor-suiblocker), and is used to provide feedback to the user on their device. That is what the `timeout` method is used for, to provide a better UI experience for the user by "slowing" down the process by "pausing" for 2 seconds (2000ms) between each call. You can remove the timeout and calls to `SUIBlock` if you don't need them.

```javascript
class ExampleWiFi {

constructor( SSID ){
this.SSID = SSID;
this.delay = 2000; // delay in ms for timeout
