How To Fix: 64-Bit WiFi Scanning

It seems as if most WiFi scanning applications fail to work on A7 devices. Apps like "WiFi Analyzer" or "WiFiFoFum" run fine, but isn't able to locate or utilize the wireless adapter rendering them useless. This isn't an iOS 7 issue since it's fully functional on my other devices that are running iOS 7, but running 32-bit chips.

So far, the only scanner that seems to work on A7 is "WiFi Booster", a tweak that lowers the signal threshold and gives additional info on WiFi via settings. But it's still limited in available information. Something as simple as displaying the wireless channel used from neighboring APs isn't available.

Wondering if anyone knows of a fix for this? I'm thinking maybe it's just an addressing issue for the newer hardware and maybe a symlink can be placed somewhere pointing to the new location of the wireless adapter would fix this. Anyone have any insight on this?

You have to wait for the tweaks to be optimized for 64-bit first. There really isn't a "fix." Just have some patience.

Thanks for posting this question. I was wondering myself. I had paid for WiFi Analyzer (great tool for work, actually), and tried WiFiFoFum as well, but no dice.

If they don't work on 64-bit devices, I'd wish they'd update their descriptions in Cydia to reflect this.

It says in Cydia: "this application has not been certified to work on your device." You can download anyway, but the scanning doesn't work right now.
