In recent macOS versions (14.4+), the
airportutility still exists but returns an empty output. This causes the script to fail with "ERROR: Could not retrieve current SSID. Are you connected?".The
system_profiler SPAirPortDataTypecommand returns necessary data to perform the same function in more modern macOS versions.This version trys to airport utility first to retain backwards compatability. If it is found to returns empty, the system_profiler is used.
