Question

Ok so my question is obviously about the reachability class. I’m using it in an ipad app but a constant connection isn’t actually required, just occasional xml sent to a server. What I’m noticing is that the little network indicator in the top left is eternally spinning. Is reachability causing it? My appDelegate class is listening for the connection, but I’m worried about additional battery usage. Any thoughts?

didfinishlaunchingwithoptions {

  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(checkNetworkStatus:) name:kReachabilityChangedNotification object:nil];

    hostReachable = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName: @"www.apple.com"];
    [hostReachable startNotifier];

}

Answer 1

Reachability does not have any references to show/hide networkActivityIndicator so it must be coming from somewhere else in your project. Use Xcode’s search to search the whole project.
