## @react-native-community/netinfo 12

### Breaking changes

- The new iOS Wi-Fi configuration API usage requires the NetworkExtension framework. (12.0.1) — [release notes](https://github.com/react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo/releases/tag/v12.0.1)
- iOS 14+ is now required, which also means React Native 0.76+ is required. (12.0.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo/releases/tag/v12.0.0)
- Wi-Fi information now uses NEHotspotNetwork instead of deprecated CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo; the app needs the Access Wi-Fi Information Entitlement or the method produces nil. (12.0.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo/releases/tag/v12.0.0)
