Change Impact

If your application is developed using the involved APIs of earlier versions, apply for the required permissions for the new APIs.

Key API/Component Changes NA

Adaptation Guide Apply for the required permissions for the involved APIs.

Deprecated scan(), getScanResults(), and getScanResultsSync(), and added new APIs to provide the related capabilities.

Change Impact The following APIs are deprecated since API 10, without affecting the compatibility of developed applications. However, you are advised to use new APIs.

Key API/Component Changes

Deprecated API New API Description
function scan(): void; function startScan(): void; Use startScan to start Wi-Fi scan.
function getScanResults(): Promise<Array>; function getScanInfoList(): Array; Use getScanInfoList to obtain the scan result.
function getScanResults(callback: AsyncCallback<Array>): void; function getScanInfoList(): Array; Use getScanInfoList to obtain the scan result.
function getScanResultsSync(): Array; function getScanInfoList(): Array; Use getScanInfoList to obtain the scan result.

Adaptation Guide Use the new APIs.
