You can call the Reachability class every time after a fixed interval by using method given below:
override func viewDidLoad() {
scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval()
}
func scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(){
// Scheduling timer to Call the function "updateCounting" with the interval of 'x' seconds
timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1, target: self, selector: #selector(self.updateCounting), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
@objc func updateCounting(){
\\Do your stuff here(Check Reachabilty Here)
}
EDIT:
This is how you can check signal strength for cellular networks.
func getSignalStrength() -> Int {
let application = UIApplication.shared
let statusBarView = application.value(forKey: "statusBar") as! UIView
let foregroundView = statusBarView.value(forKey: "foregroundView") as! UIView
let foregroundViewSubviews = foregroundView.subviews
var dataNetworkItemView:UIView? = nil
for subview in foregroundViewSubviews {
if subview.isKind(of: NSClassFromString("UIStatusBarSignalStrengthItemView")!) {
dataNetworkItemView = subview
break
}
}
if dataNetworkItemView == nil
{
return 0
}
return dataNetworkItemView?.value(forKey: "signalStrengthBars") as! Int
}
For Wifi Network this is how you can get signal strength
private func getWiFiRSSI() -> Int? {
let app = UIApplication.shared
var rssi: Int?
let exception = tryBlock {
guard let statusBar = app.value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView else { return }
if let statusBarMorden = NSClassFromString("UIStatusBar_Modern"), statusBar .isKind(of: statusBarMorden) { return }
guard let foregroundView = statusBar.value(forKey: "foregroundView") as? UIView else { return }
for view in foregroundView.subviews {
if let statusBarDataNetworkItemView = NSClassFromString("UIStatusBarDataNetworkItemView"), view .isKind(of: statusBarDataNetworkItemView) {
if let val = view.value(forKey: "wifiStrengthRaw") as? Int {
rssi = val
break
}
}
}
}
if let exception = exception {
print("getWiFiRSSI exception: \(exception)")
}
return rssi
}
EDIT 2: Add this extension to access your status bar view
extension UIApplication {
var statusBarUIView: UIView? {
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let tag = 38482458385
if let statusBar = self.keyWindow?.viewWithTag(tag) {
return statusBar
} else {
let statusBarView = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame)
statusBarView.tag = tag
self.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBarView)
return statusBarView
}
} else {
if responds(to: Selector(("statusBar"))) {
return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
}
}
return nil
}
}
