Online event not firing on iOS or Android

[JoeOsterfeld]

Steps to repeat:

1. Create a Cordova/Ionic app.
2. Listen for onConnect events:

document.addEventListener('online', onOnline, false);
function onOnline() {
    // This never fires
    console.log('I\'m online!');
}

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.2, ios 4.5.5
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.2, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.1.4, (and 14 other plugins)

System:
   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk)
   ios-deploy        : 1.9.4
   ios-sim           : 7.0.0
   NodeJS            : v10.13.0 (/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v10.13.0/bin/node)
   npm               : 6.4.1
   OS                : macOS High Sierra
   Xcode             : Xcode 10.1 Build version 10B61

Hey, I've tested it on Android.

If you run an Ionic app, the 'online' event is normally added after the deviceready (platform.ready()) event. The 'online' or 'offline' event is already fired then. (The first events are fired even before the first deviceready event on android);

You could always read the type of navigator.connection when you need to:

const networkState = navigator.connection.type;

if (networkState === 'none') {
   console.log('We are offline');
} else {
   console.log('We are online');
}

In our company, we allways check the navigator.connection.type before every api call.

If you need more help attach your project.

Kind regards, Pieter
