How to check for an active Internet connection on iOS or macOS

Question

I would like to check to see if I have an Internet connection on iOS using the Cocoa Touch libraries or on macOS using the Cocoa libraries   I came up with a way to do this using an NSURL  The way I did it seems a bit unreliable  because even Google could one day be down and relying on a third party seems bad   and while I could check to see for a response from some other websites if Google didn t respond  it does seem wasteful and an unnecessary overhead on my application   -  BOOL  connectedToInternet       NSString  URLString    NSString stringWithContentsOfURL  NSURL URLWithString   http   www google com         return   URLString    NULL     YES   NO      Is what I have done bad   not to mention stringWithContentsOfURL is deprecated in iOS 3 0 and macOS 10 4  and if so  what is a better way to accomplish this

Checking the Internet connection availability in  iOS  Xcode 8   Swift 3 0  This is simple method for checking the network availability like our device is connected to any network or not  I have managed to translate it to Swift 3 0 and here the final code  The existing Apple Reachability class and other third party libraries seemed to be too complicated to translate to Swift  This works for both 3G 4G and WiFi connections  Don   t forget to add    SystemConfiguration framework    to your project builder     Create new swift class file Reachability in your project  import SystemConfiguration public class InternetReachability    class func isConnectedToNetwork   - gt  Bool      var zeroAddress   sockaddr in sin len  0  sin family  0  sin port  0  sin addr  in addr s addr  0   sin zero   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0      zeroAddress sin len   UInt8 sizeofValue zeroAddress      zeroAddress sin family   sa family t AF INET     let defaultRouteReachability   withUnsafePointer  amp zeroAddress              SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress nil  UnsafePointer  0   takeRetainedValue           var flags  SCNetworkReachabilityFlags   0    if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags defaultRouteReachability   amp flags     0             return false         let isReachable    flags  amp  UInt32 kSCNetworkFlagsReachable      0    let needsConnection    flags  amp  UInt32 kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired      0     return isReachable  amp  amp   needsConnection           Check network connectivity from anywhere in project by using this code   if InternetReachability isConnectedToNetwork      true            print  quot Internet connection OK quot       else            print  quot Internet connection FAILED quot

To do this yourself is extremely simple  The following method will work  Just be sure to not allow a hostname protocol such as HTTP  HTTPS  etc  to be passed in with the name   - BOOL hasInternetConnection  NSString  urlAddress       SCNetworkReachabilityRef ref   SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithName kCFAllocatorDefault   urlAddress UTF8String        SCNetworkReachabilityFlags flags      if   SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags ref   amp flags                 return NO            return flags  amp  kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsReachable      It is quick simple and painless

Alamofire  I know the question is asking for Coca Touch solution  but I want to provide a solution for people who searched check internet connection on iOS and will have one more option here   If you are already using Alamofire  here is what you can benifit from that   You can add following class to your app  and call MNNetworkUtils main isConnected   to get a boolean on whether its connected or not    import Alamofire  class MNNetworkUtils     static let main   MNNetworkUtils     init         manager   NetworkReachabilityManager host   google com       listenForReachability          private let manager  NetworkReachabilityManager    private var reachable  Bool   false   private func listenForReachability         self manager  listener      unowned self  status in       switch status         case  notReachable          self reachable   false       case  reachable      unknown          self reachable   true                   self manager  startListening          func isConnected   - gt  Bool       return reachable         This is a singleton class  Every time  when user connect or disconnect the network  it will override self reachable to true false correctly  because we start listening for the NetworkReachabilityManager on singleton initialization   Also in order to monitor reachability  you need to provide a host  currently I am using google com feel free to change to any other hosts or one of yours if needed  Change the class name and file name to anything matching your project

The Reachability class is OK to find out if the Internet connection is available to a device or not     But in case of accessing an intranet resource   Pinging the intranet server with the reachability class always returns true   So a quick solution in this scenario would be to create a web method called pingme along with other webmethods on the service  The pingme should return something   So I wrote the following method on common functions  - BOOL PingServiceServer       NSURL  url  NSURL URLWithString   http   www serveraddress service asmx Ping         NSMutableURLRequest  urlReq  NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL url         urlReq setTimeoutInterval 10        NSURLResponse  response       NSError  error   nil       NSData  receivedData    NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest urlReq                                                  returningResponse  amp response                                                              error  amp error       NSLog   receivedData     receivedData        if  receivedData   nil                return YES            else               NSLog   Data is null            return NO            The above method was so useful for me  so whenever I try to send some data to the server I always check the reachability of my intranet resource using this low timeout URLRequest

When using iOS 12 or macOS 10 14 or newer  you can use NWPathMonitor instead of the pre-historic Reachability class  As a bonus you can easily detect the current network connection type  import Network    Put this on top of your class  let monitor   NWPathMonitor        monitor pathUpdateHandler     path in     if path status     satisfied              Not connected           else if path usesInterfaceType  cellular               Cellular 3 4 5g connection           else if path usesInterfaceType  wifi               Wi-fi connection           else if path usesInterfaceType  wiredEthernet               Ethernet connection           monitor start queue  DispatchQueue global qos   background      More info here  https   developer apple com documentation network nwpathmonitor

This used to be the correct answer  but it is now outdated as you should subscribe to notifications for reachability instead  This method checks synchronously     You can use Apple s Reachability class  It will also allow you to check if Wi-Fi is enabled   Reachability  reachability    Reachability sharedReachability    reachability setHostName   www example com          Set your host name here NetworkStatus remoteHostStatus    reachability remoteHostStatus    if  remoteHostStatus    NotReachable      else if  remoteHostStatus    ReachableViaWiFiNetwork      else if  remoteHostStatus    ReachableViaCarrierDataNetwork         The Reachability class is not shipped with the SDK  but rather a part of this Apple sample application  Just download it  and copy Reachability h m to your project  Also  you have to add the SystemConfiguration framework to your project

If you re using AFNetworking you can use its own implementation for internet reachability status   The best way to use AFNetworking is to subclass the AFHTTPClient class and use this class to do your network connections   One of the advantages of using this approach is that you can use blocks to set the desired behavior when the reachability status changes  Supposing that I ve created a singleton subclass of AFHTTPClient  as said on the  Subclassing notes  on AFNetworking docs  named BKHTTPClient  I d do something like   BKHTTPClient  httpClient    BKHTTPClient sharedClient    httpClient setReachabilityStatusChangeBlock   AFNetworkReachabilityStatus status        if  status    AFNetworkReachabilityStatusNotReachable                Not reachable           else                  Reachable             You could also check for Wi-Fi or WLAN connections specifically using the AFNetworkReachabilityStatusReachableViaWWAN and AFNetworkReachabilityStatusReachableViaWiFi enums  more here
