iOS 8 - NetworkInfo always return .active = false

[fdc-dev]

Hi,

we have a problem to submit our app on Apple AppStore. Your Network info native extension always return false on iOS 8 for wifi and mobile. Can you check our code and give a feedback ? It is working on iOS 7 and Android but not on iOS 8.

try{
    com.distriqt.extension.networkinfo.NetworkInfo.init(DEV_KEY_ANE);
    updateNetwork();

    setInterval( updateNetwork, 5000 );
}catch(ex:Error){
}

protected function updateNetwork():void{
    try{
        var ntf:Vector.<com.distriqt.extension.networkinfo.NetworkInterface> = com.distriqt.extension.networkinfo.NetworkInfo.networkInfo.findInterfaces();

        for each (var interfaceObj:com.distriqt.extension.networkinfo.NetworkInterface in ntf){
            if (interfaceObj.name.toLowerCase() == 'wifi'){
                isWifi = interfaceObj.active;
            }
            if (interfaceObj.name.toLowerCase() == 'mobile'){
                is3G = interfaceObj.active;
            }
        }
    }catch(e:Error){}
}

Hi, There aren't any interfaces on iOS with the name wifi or mobile so not sure how you intended that code to work? They are generally called something like en0 for the WiFi connection and like pdp_ip0 for the mobile. This may have worked with Android as I believe they are named like that there?

You should be using the isReachable and isWWAN flags to determine your connection type.

if (Network.networkInfo.isReachable)
{
    // Have a network connection
    if (NetworkInfo.networkInfo.isWWAN)
    {
        // Mobile (WWAN) connection
    }
    else
    {
        // WiFi or other connection
    }
}
else
{
    // No network connection
}
