Do you know how it is possible to check that WIFI is turned on is React Native iOS app. Due to the aGPS on iOS devices, the WIFI must be turned on in order for our location sensitive app to be able to work effectively and we want to notify the user in cases it is turned off.

Any idea how to achieve this in a React Native app for iOS?

Use NetInfo to check if the device is connected to wifi/cellular in React Native.

NetInfo exposes info about online/offline status

NetInfo.getConnectionInfo().then((connectionInfo) => {

  console.log('Initial, type: ' + connectionInfo.type + ', effectiveType: ' + connectionInfo.effectiveType);

});

function handleFirstConnectivityChange(connectionInfo) {

  console.log('First change, type: ' + connectionInfo.type + ', effectiveType: ' + connectionInfo.effectiveType);

  NetInfo.removeEventListener(

    'connectionChange',

    handleFirstConnectivityChange

  );

}

NetInfo.addEventListener(

  'connectionChange',

  handleFirstConnectivityChange

);

ConnectionType describes the type of connection the device is using to communicate with the network.

Cross platform values for ConnectionType:

none - device is offline

wifi - device is online and connected via wifi, or is the iOS simulator

cellular - device is connected via Edge, 3G, WiMax, or LTE

unknown - error case and the network status is unknown

I think what he means is if there is a way to check if wifi is open in order to have AGPS signal while the device is connected via cellular 3G/4G

Indeed most of the time users would be driving and would not be connected to a wifi router. Nonetheless, an iOS device's aGPS requires the wifi to be turned on (even though not connected but must not be disabled). What I need is to know if it is turned on or off not to know that I am connected through 4G.
