iOS detect connection to unsecured Wi-fi

I know, that similar question has been already asked on SO, but it's pretty old, and doesn't provide the way to solve the problem using public API, only the private one.
At the same time, there are apps in App Store which displays such information, for example McAfee Security:
This means, that there must be a public API acceptable by Apple to solve this task.
I have searched in iOS frameworks documentation and on the web quite intensively, but no luck.
Could anybody give me a clue of how they do this?
Any hint would be much appreciated.

How to run chrome browser in grid using windows as hub and mac and ipad as nodes?

Hub: Windows 64-bit Nod: Mac/Ipad
I'm looking to automate chrome browser in mac and ipad and add to our selenium grid running on windows, c# scripts. Please advise. And also if appium is required and does it have to run the server on a mac for the ios testing?
*I'm modeling my question after the link below as clearly others have been able to convey the question just fine, yet every time I've asked I've been flagged as not asking properly, and now there's a notice threatening to block me? Mystified as to why I'm receiving different treatment, please explain how this is not clear and allow for commenting. Isn't that what comments are for anyways?
update due to lack of comment status
Please note my follow up question on Appium with a narrower scope: is appium is required and does it have to run the server on a mac for the ios testing? Y/N- That doesn't get any narrower. Plus I can't run code and get errors without having the correct tools setup. Otherwise there is little documentation available on this out there, and what there is is either not great or older, and all are running java code on the mac which is not the .net windows setup we have. Even though the rules may have changed, clearly breadth isn't an issue as people seem to understood other broad questions just fine. I've done several days of research on this.

Why is Stack Overflow so negative of late?. I would add downvoting and not answering questions no matter how noob kinda goes against the very core mission answer sites have--answering questions. If this site won't, some other site will.
Let me try to Answer your Questions one by one :
I'm looking to automate chrome browser in mac and ipad and add to our selenium grid running on windows, c# scripts. Please advise. : Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.
If appium is required and does it have to run the server on a mac for the ios testing : Automating Web Application requires only Selenium. If you are automating Mobile Application you have to go with Appium.
Every time I've asked I've been flagged as not asking properly, and now there's a notice threatening to block me? Mystified as to why I'm receiving different treatment : Answer is same as #JeffC mentioned in his comment Your question is way too broad and doesn't show any research. The question you linked is from 2013 and the rules were different back then. Do some research and try to accomplish what you are asking. If you run into an issue, research that specific issue and see if you can overcome it. If you can't, come back and ask a question around that specific issue with supporting information, research, code, samples, etc. and we can help you. As it current stands, your question will get closed for being too broad.
Is appium is required and does it have to run the server on a mac for the ios testing? : Appium is required and you can run it on your Desktop/Local Systsem as well.
I can't run code and get errors without having the correct tools setup : Every Automation Engineer starts with a similar situation. So you are on the right track.
There is little documentation available on this out there, and what there is is either not great or older : Help us (stackoverflow.com) to prepare more documentation.
I've done several days of research on this How to run chrome browser in grid using MAC as hub and Windows as Nod? : The question was raised as early as Jul 9 '13 at 14:19. Almost half a decade back. By now you should have made your hands dirty with Hard Disk full of Code
Obviously this has been hashed before Why is Stack Overflow so negative of late? : If you have any concern feel free to raise it at StackOverflow - Meta
Solution
It is never late to start anything new. Start writing your code. Get your fingers dirty. Feel free to raise any Technical Question where you get stuck. StackOverflow volunteers will be happy to help you out.

Checking the sanity of a URL in an iOS app

Here is a question I am facing. I would like to offer my users a way for checking the sanity of a given URL, inside an iOS app.
We all know when we surf on the internet, that not all sites are clean of viruses, malware or other ill-intended beasts. As much as possible we want to avoid these places. So when a user types in a URL, or gets it via some other means, she/he may want to run some checking.
I have done some research on the subject and found out VirusTotal that seems to be a possible solution to use. I already know that someone will come up and say that the question of choosing between VirusTotal and MalwarePartial is not fit for this site, because dependant on opinions or preferences. But I do not intend to ask about VirusTotal or anyone else in particular. I only want to know if there is a standard way or best practice for this task: checking the sanity of a URL in an iOS app.

how does CVE-2015-5207 and CVE-2015-5208 work and could be triggered?

just like what the title says
I couldn't find a single detailed explanation with this vulnerabilities
any comments is appreciated
see link for more info
https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2016/04/27/security.html
The NVD is a product of the NIST Computer Security Division and is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division. This is the official resource to see more information about announced vulnerabilities:
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5207
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5208
You could investigate this further by analyzing the Cordova iOS source on GitHub and history of commits:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios
The CVE sometimes is not incredibly descriptive on how the bug actually works because they're trying to thwart less-skilled hackers from easily writing exploits for the bug immediately after it's released. Oftentimes you will have to investigate the source code to see what changes were made yourself to recreate the problem.

What is the main purpose of WebExceptionStatus.Success?

I am a bit confused about the purpose of the enum value Success of the WebExceptionStatus enumeration. I did a search and did not find this enumeration being used outside the WebException class. This is very confusing to me. Why would an exception be used to indicate a successful action/state. Am I missing something, or did I not search thouroughly enough? Was it introduced for future functionality?
Please if anyone does know its basic purpose I would be thankfull if s/he shares with us the explanation.
See if this might help.
