How to measure wireless signal strength without access to RSSI?

I am developing an app for iOS and wish to include a wireless strength signal indicator to show the user how good their wireless connection is however Apple has locked this down and does not allow access to wireless signal monitoring. I have come here to ask if there would be any other way I can show WiFi signal bars in my app by measuring the network in some other way? Would dropped packets from a ping be a good indication? The app I'm developing streams RTSP video - could the connection quality also be measured from the number of dropped frames from the video stream?
