Connectivity is a Swift library that wraps Apple's Reachability to provide a reliable measure of actual Internet connectivity on iOS. It solves the captive portal problem by detecting when a device is connected to a Wi-Fi network that lacks real Internet access.

Use cases

• detect when iOS device is on Wi-Fi without internet access
• handle captive portal login flows in my app
• replace Apple Reachability with more reliable connectivity checks
• notify users when their connection is not truly online
• check internet connectivity before making network requests
• detect public Wi-Fi networks requiring registration

When to choose

• you're building an iOS app that needs to distinguish real Internet access from mere interface availability
• you need to detect captive portals on public Wi-Fi networks
• you want callbacks, Combine support, and one-off connectivity checks

When to avoid

• you're not targeting Apple platforms
• you only need simple interface availability checks that Apple's Reachability already provides
• you need cross-platform connectivity detection
