It works for me

• Add SystemConfiguration.framework

• import < SystemConfiguration/CaptiveNetwork.h>

• use the below method

   +(NSString *)currentWifiBSSID {
  
          NSString *bssid = nil;
          NSArray *ifs = (__bridge_transfer id)CNCopySupportedInterfaces();
          for (NSString *ifnam in ifs) {
              NSDictionary *info = (__bridge_transfer id)CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo((__bridge CFStringRef)ifnam);
  
              NSLog(@"info:%@",info);
  
              if (info[@"BSSID"]) {
                  bssid = info[@"BSSID"];
              }
          }
          return bssid;
      }
  

Any usage of this code won't get your app rejected by Apple.
