Apparently, I do. We have a client who puts his device in Airplane Mode overnight and he’s on the other side of the planet. I’ve created multiple tests using reachability and it would be REALLY EASY if we could simply respond to changes in the Airplane Mode switch. BUT, I know this isn’t everything. I am well aware that the connection will often take time to negotiate, so I have several methods meant to test if our iOS app can “see” our web server once reachability has changed. We have some ugly code underneath that doesn’t fail properly (does nothing on a fail) and I’m sure that’s related to the issue, but it’s scary in there and I don’t have the all the time this requires to address that. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
