I just found that UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible is deprecated, but no alternative property or method is suggested to be used. I assume that iOS will handle showing and hiding network activity indicator starting from iOS 13.

Would someone who has iOS 13 Beta verify or deny this assumption?

Thanks.

I tested this on iOS 13 beta and nothing was shown in the status bar while performing a network activity. So the network activity indicator probably will not be displayed from iOS 13. The deprecation message says:

Provide a custom network activity UI in your app if desired.

Also note that the network activity indicator used to display on devices without edge-to-edge displays only.

    A couple years late to the party, but this is official in Apple's HIG now: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/controls/progress-indicators/ – Brian Sachetta Jul 29 '21 at 15:36
