Check internet connection (iOS 10)


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)
    }
}

Solution

  • import Foundation
    import SystemConfiguration
    
    func isInternetAvailable() -> 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) {
                $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {zeroSockAddress in
                    SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, zeroSockAddress)
                }
            }
    
            var flags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags()
            if !SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) {
                return false
            }
            let isReachable = flags.contains(.reachable)
            let needsConnection = flags.contains(.connectionRequired)
            return (isReachable && !needsConnection)
        }
    

    This works in iOS 10
