An iOS library that determines real internet reachability rather than just local network connection status, by combining SCNetworkReachability with ICMP ping probes and a finite state machine. This original repository is now legacy; development has moved to RealReachability2.

Use cases

  • detect real internet connectivity on iOS
  • check if network is actually reachable not just connected
  • verify actual reachability before making network requests
  • monitor network status changes in an iOS app
  • distinguish wifi/cellular connectivity from true internet access

When to choose

  • you need true internet reachability on iOS, not just local connection status
  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS codebase on iOS 12+
  • you want ping-based verification combined with SCNetworkReachability

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use RealReachability2 instead
  • you need Swift async/await APIs or iOS 13+ features
  • you need cross-platform reachability beyond iOS
