An ARC and GCD compatible Objective-C Reachability class for iOS and macOS, serving as a drop-in replacement for Apple's Reachability. It notifies apps of network interface changes via NSNotification or blocks, with configurable WWAN reachability.

Use cases

  • detect when the network becomes reachable or unreachable in an iOS app
  • monitor network interface changes on macOS
  • check whether a WWAN connection counts as reachable
  • replace Apple's Reachability class with an ARC-compatible version
  • get callbacks via blocks when connectivity status changes

When to choose

  • you need an Objective-C Reachability replacement for iOS or macOS
  • you want block-based or notification-based network status callbacks
  • you need ARC and GCD compatibility with legacy Apple Reachability semantics

When to avoid

  • you are on Swift-only modern projects that can use NWPathMonitor instead
  • you need reachability inside a framework and cannot risk App Store rejection
  • you target very old iOS versions without using the older tagged releases
