AFNetworking reachability is always unknown

Question

I start monitoring like this in my AppDelegate:

[[AFNetworkReachabilityManager sharedManager] startMonitoring];

On my root controller I then need to check if reachability is available and I perform this action to decide how to draw my UI:

AFNetworkReachabilityManager *manager = [AFNetworkReachabilityManager sharedManager];
NSLog(@"%s - %@", __FUNCTION__, AFStringFromNetworkReachabilityStatus([manager networkReachabilityStatus]));
switch ([manager networkReachabilityStatus]){
    case AFNetworkReachabilityStatusNotReachable:
        [self showNetworkUnreachable];
        break;
    default:
        [self hideNetworkUnreachable];
}

My issue is that here status is always unknown even if the device has connection.

Possibly AfNetworking is not the right tool to be used here. Any suggestion?

I've never used AFNetworking to check the reachability, but I can't see anywhere the domain you are trying to reach. Pretty sure you have to deal with `+ (instancetype)managerForDomain:(NSString *)domain;`. Apple also suggest a reachability class : https://developer.apple.com/Library/ios/samplecode/Reachability/Listings/Reachability_Reachability_h.html — zbMax, Dec 03 '13 at 16:34
I guess Reachability my be more suited to this kind of needs. I will test it out. Thanks — Andrea Campolonghi, Dec 05 '13 at 13:15

Not working in my case too. I used that instead:

- (BOOL)isInternetConnectionAvailable
{
    Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection];
    NetworkStatus internetStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus];
    if (internetStatus != NotReachable) {
        return YES;
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"NO INTERNET CONNECTION");
        return NO;
    }
}
