Ios app to work in intranet connection only

Question

I am trying to make an ios app, where the app must work in intranet connection only, and if tried to hit api endpoint from different network, the app should show alert dialog. I tried working with apple's reachability code.. I dont have host name but ip of my host case scenario:

when connected to different network, it says not connected and api call also fails.. what needs to be

but when connected to same network, the endpoint is giving me success response, but the reachibility still says, not connected

thanks in advance

It sounds like your connection is working fine, but you're troubling of getting indication whether you connected or not.

You can

Pinging to local "server" using Simple Ping see here
Use Reachability for local Wifi and check the Wifi name (a.k.a. SSID) see an example here

Add this file to your project:

then configure your AppDelegate

in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method

let reach = Reachability()
reach.monitorReachabilityChanges()

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AppDelegate.networkStatusChanged(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: ReachabilityStatusChangedNotification), object: nil)

then Add this method

 func networkStatusChanged(_ notification: Notification) {
    let userInfo = (notification as NSNotification).userInfo
    guard let status = userInfo?["Status"] as? String else { return }
    if status.lowercased().contains("online") {
        //CONNECTED
    } else {
        //NOT CONNECTED
    }
}
