Apple bans benign iOS spyware detection, security info app

I've yet to work out why Apple banned the INSSIDER app years ago, and still bans any app that tries to do a simple survey of your WiFi environment.

I'd be happy with a display just of:

SSIDs of all local WiFis, their signal strengths and channel numbers.

To survey the garden and house extremities with, so I can set up my WiFi to avoid too much collision with neighbours.

But that's too much for Apple's po-faced thought police.

Due to Apple's intransigence I have to carry a laptop around to do the survey.

Another one is Apple's resistance to allowing any kind of video camera being connected to the data socket of a iThing. Many Android handset have OTG so you can use a sub-£10 long-cabled endoscope for DIY. With Apple you need an expensive Wifi endoscope £50+.
