Hi @Erel, I am trying to use native code to detect if there is an internet connection and the type of connection. Of course, the use of ChatGPT does not guarantee operation, but it is the way I have to do "translations" when I do not know Swift or Objective-C
I have searched the forum and saw several examples that the quick method is to try, connect to a site using a try/catch, for example google.com. and then with socketServer this example if it is WiFi or not.
In this answer you just talk about #IF OBJC, I found a piece of code in Swift that I converted into Objective-C using ChatGPT

According to ChatGPT this should be the code, but it doesn't work

Swift code:
import Network // Put this on top of your class
let monitor = NWPathMonitor()
monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { path in
if path.status != .satisfied {
// Not connected
}
else if path.usesInterfaceType(.cellular) {
// Cellular 3/4/5g connection
}
else if path.usesInterfaceType(.wifi) {
// Wi-Fi connection
}
else if path.usesInterfaceType(.wiredEthernet) {
// Ethernet connection
}
}
monitor.start(queue: DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background))
Objective-C code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Network/Network.h>
@interface NetworkMonitor : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, strong) NWPathMonitor *monitor;
@end
@implementation NetworkMonitor
- (instancetype)init {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.monitor = [[NWPathMonitor alloc] init];
__weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
self.monitor.pathUpdateHandler = ^(NWPath * _Nonnull path) {
if (path.status != NWPathStatusSatisfied) {
// Not connected
NSLog(@"Not connected");
} else if ([path usesInterfaceType:NWInterfaceTypeCellular]) {
// Cellular 3/4/5g connection
NSLog(@"Cellular connection");
} else if ([path usesInterfaceType:NWInterfaceTypeWiFi]) {
// Wi-Fi connection
NSLog(@"Wi-Fi connection");
} else if ([path usesInterfaceType:NWInterfaceTypeWiredEthernet]) {
// Ethernet connection
NSLog(@"Ethernet connection");
}
};
[self.monitor startWithQueue:dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_BACKGROUND, 0)];
}
return self;
}
@end
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
@autoreleasepool {
NetworkMonitor *networkMonitor = [[NetworkMonitor alloc] init];
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run];
}
return 0;
