Is there a public API available for WiFi Sense?

I want a customised Windows app to automatically detect and connect to nearby Wi-Fi networks. I know that Wifi-Sense provides such options. Wifi Direct is yet to get released for Windows phones.[1]

Is Wifi Sense API available publicly?

Or, is there a way using c#?

Or, is there a workaround such as .mobileconfig in iOs?

Wi-Fi Sense already provides the functionality you envision for your app.

No such thing exists. You can navigate to WiFi settings though, with the Launcher class and it's LaunchUriAsync method, providing the ms-settings-wifi: uri scheme.

Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("ms-settings-wifi:"));

Note that this call will navigate away from you app, so you will need to save the transient state of your page and restore it, when coming back.
