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
