Checking for Internet connection does not work


I'm trying to check for the internet connection in my app, and currently, I have this code:

  private let monitor: NWPathMonitor

        monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { [weak self] path in
            print(path.status)
            self?.isConnected = path.status == .satisfied
        }

However, this does not work. Specifically, the print does not print out the value in the debug console.

Could you please tell me what I have done wrong?

Thank you.


Solution

  • here is my (SwiftUI, sorry) test code that works for me. You can probably recycle some of the code for your purpose.

    import SwiftUI
    import Foundation
    import Network
    
    @main
    struct TestApp: App {
        var body: some Scene {
            WindowGroup {
                ContentView()
            }
        }
    }
    
    struct ContentView: View {
        let monitor = NWPathMonitor()
        
        var body: some View {
            Text("testing")
                .onAppear {
                    let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "monitoring")
                    monitor.start(queue: queue)
                    monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { path in
                         print(path.status)
                        if path.status == .satisfied {
                            print("-----> YES connected")
                        } else {
                            print("-----> NOT connected")
                        }
                     }
                }
        }
    }
    

    You can also use specific monitor, such as let monitor = NWPathMonitor(requiredInterfaceType: .wifi)
