Is it possible the get a list of all available SSIDs on the iPhone without using a private library?

I read iPhone get SSID without private library which is about getting details about the current network.

This answer mentions:

If you jailbreak your device you can use the Apple80211 private framework to look up the available Wi-Fi networks and their signal strength. But that also means your app will get rejected.

Apple has the CaptiveNetwork API but there doesn't seem to be a solution to get a list of all available networks. It seems it's only possible to do so with using the Apple80211 private library, or connecting to all of them.

Am I missing something, or is there no solution?

Without the use of private library (Apple80211) you can only get the SSID of the network your device is currently connected to.
