Check internet connection (iOS 10)

Question

For iOS 9 I was using Reachability public class to check wether the device is connected to the internet or not. I converted my Swift 2 code to Swift 3, and the Reachability doesn't work anymore. Can someone tell me how to check the internet connection on iOS 10? Thanks! Here's the code snippet:

open class Reachability {
    class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> Bool {
        var zeroAddress = sockaddr_in()
        zeroAddress.sin_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: zeroAddress))
        zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)
        let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
            SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, UnsafePointer($0))
        }
        var flags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags()
        if !SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) {
            return false
        }
        let isReachable = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)) != 0
        let needsConnection = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired)) != 0
        return (isReachable && !needsConnection)
    }
}

SWIFT 3.0: Here's very simple way to do it:

import SystemConfiguration


protocol Utilities {
}

extension NSObject:Utilities{


    enum ReachabilityStatus {
        case notReachable
        case reachableViaWWAN
        case reachableViaWiFi
    }

    var currentReachabilityStatus: ReachabilityStatus {

        var zeroAddress = sockaddr_in()
        zeroAddress.sin_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout<sockaddr_in>.size)
        zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)

        guard let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress, {
            $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {
                SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, $0)
            }
        }) else {
            return .notReachable
        }

        var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = []
        if !SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability, &flags) {
            return .notReachable
        }

        if flags.contains(.reachable) == false {
            // The target host is not reachable.
            return .notReachable
        }
        else if flags.contains(.isWWAN) == true {
            // WWAN connections are OK if the calling application is using the CFNetwork APIs.
            return .reachableViaWWAN
        }
        else if flags.contains(.connectionRequired) == false {
            // If the target host is reachable and no connection is required then we'll assume that you're on Wi-Fi...
            return .reachableViaWiFi
        }
        else if (flags.contains(.connectionOnDemand) == true || flags.contains(.connectionOnTraffic) == true) && flags.contains(.interventionRequired) == false {
            // The connection is on-demand (or on-traffic) if the calling application is using the CFSocketStream or higher APIs and no [user] intervention is needed
            return .reachableViaWiFi
        } 
        else {
            return .notReachable
        }
    }

}

and then simply you can use it anywhere in your project for example:

  func viewDidLoad(){
      print(currentReachabilityStatus != .notReachable) //true connected
    }

This code would be helpful for you. it worked for me in Swift 4 and Xcode 9

Go to https://github.com/ashleymills/Reachability.swift/tree/master/Reachability and copy Reachability.swift file to your project

Vasil Nunev clearly explain this Reachability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZmz9IsB-8

class ViewController: UIViewController {

   let reachability = Reachability();
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        reachability?.whenReachable = { _ in

            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
            }
        }

        reachability?.whenUnreachable = { _ in
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
            }
        }
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(internetChanged), name: Notification.Name.reachabilityChanged , object: reachability)
        do{

            try reachability?.startNotifier()
        }catch{
            print("Could not start notifier:\(error)")
        }

    }

    @objc func internetChanged(note:Notification)  {
        let reachability  = note.object as! Reachability

        if reachability.connection != .none {

            if reachability.connection == .wifi{
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.view.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.3411764801, green: 0.6235294342, blue: 0.1686274558, alpha: 1)
                }
            }else if reachability.connection == .cellular{
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.view.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.3647058904, green: 0.06666667014, blue: 0.9686274529, alpha: 1)
                }
            }
        }else{
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.view.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.7450980544, green: 0.1568627506, blue: 0.07450980693, alpha: 1)
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

Another solution for Swift 4.0. Not a big fan o IUO rather use a guard

 func isConnectedToNetwork() -> Bool {
    var zeroAddress = sockaddr_in()
    zeroAddress.sin_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: zeroAddress))
    zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)

    guard let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress, {
        $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {
            SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, $0)
        }
    }) else {
        return false
    }

    var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
    if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability, &flags) == false {
        return false
    }

    let isReachable = flags == .reachable
    let needsConnection = flags == .connectionRequired
    return isReachable && !needsConnection
}

Answer 4

Swift 4/Xcode 9+ (make Reachability.swift file):

public class Reachability {

    class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> 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(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: zeroAddress))
        zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)

        let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
            $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {zeroSockAddress in
                SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, zeroSockAddress)
            }
        }

        var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
        if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) == false {
            return false
        }

        // Working for Cellular and WIFI
        let isReachable = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)) != 0
        let needsConnection = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired)) != 0
        let ret = (isReachable && !needsConnection)

        return ret

    }
}

usage:

if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork() {
// connected, do something
}

1. Create a Swift file within your project, name it: Reachability.swift". then paste below code in this Reachability.swift file:-

   import Foundation
   
   import SystemConfiguration
   
   public class Reachability {
   
       class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> 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(&zeroAddress) {
               SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(kCFAllocatorDefault, UnsafePointer($0))
           }
   
           var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
           if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) == false {
               return false
           }
   
           let isReachable = flags == .Reachable
           let needsConnection = flags == .ConnectionRequired
   
           return isReachable && !needsConnection
   
       }
   }
   

Then you can check the internet anywhere in the project using below code

  if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork() == true {
        println("Internet connection OK")
    } else {
        println("Internet connection FAILED")
    }

You can use in swift 3

import SystemConfiguration

class Connection {

    class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> 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(&zeroAddress) {
            SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(kCFAllocatorDefault, UnsafePointer($0))
        }

        var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
        if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) == false {
            return false
        }

        let isReachable = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)) != 0
        let needsConnection = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired)) != 0

        return isReachable && !needsConnection

    }
}
