iOS bad connection.type

Giorgio_B_1 — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 13:30:43 GMT

Good morning,

when i use the Network Information plugin and the device is connected to my WIFI the connection.type value is "cellular". How can i fix this?

Tried on XDK 1621 + cordova 3.5 and XDK 1995 + cordova 4.1.3 with the suggested XDK version of the plugin (i used the "reset versions" link in the project page)

Thanks

Is this in the XDK, App

What about if you are connected to wifi? Does it return correctly?

What cell service are you connected to?

Where are you located?

I assume your ipad air has a cell data plan?

I have an air that is on 7.1 that has a data plan that I will try it on and then maybe upgrade and try it again. But of course its dead now... ;)

Well, I updated the ipad air to 8.3 and ran the app (code above) and it returns correctly based on the code above.

states[Connection.WIFI] = 'WiFi connection';
