Check for internet connection with Swift

Question

When I try to check for an internet connection on my iPhone I get a bunch of errors. Can anyone help me to fix this?

The code:

import Foundation
impo

For swift 3, I couldn't use just reachability from RAJAMOHAN-S solutions since it returns "true" if there is WiFi but no Internet. Thus, I implemented second validation via URLSession class and completion handler.

Here is the whole class.

import Foundation
import SystemConfiguration

public class Reachability {

class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> Bool {

var zeroAddress = sockaddr_in(sin_len: 0, sin_family: 0, sin_port: 0, sin_addr: in_addr(s_addr: 0), sin_zero: (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
zeroAddress.sin_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: zeroAddress))
zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)

let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
  $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {zeroSockAddress in
    SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, zeroSockAddress)
  }
}

var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) == false {
  return false
}

// Working for Cellular and WIFI
let isReachable = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)) != 0
let needsConnection = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired)) != 0
let ret = (isReachable && !needsConnection)

return ret
}



class func isInternetAvailable(webSiteToPing: String?, completionHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {

// 1. Check the WiFi Connection
guard isConnectedToNetwork() else {
  completionHandler(false)
  return
}

// 2. Check the Internet Connection
var webAddress = "https://www.google.com" // Default Web Site
if let _ = webSiteToPing {
  webAddress = webSiteToPing!
}

guard let url = URL(string: webAddress) else {
  completionHandler(false)
  print("could not create url from: \(webAddress)")
  return
}

let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = session.dataTask(with: urlRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
  if error != nil || response == nil {
    completionHandler(false)
  } else {
    completionHandler(true)
  }
})

  task.resume()
}
}

And you call this like this, for example:

Reachability.isInternetAvailable(webSiteToPing: nil) { (isInternetAvailable) in
  guard isInternetAvailable else {
    // Inform user for example
    return
  }

  // Do some action if there is Internet
}
