StatusBarOverlay - SwiftGit

Activity Indicator

StatusBarOverlay

October 3, 2023

StatusBarOverlay will automatically show a “No Internet Connection” bar when your app loses connection, and hide it again. It supports apps which hide the status bar and The Notch

Features

Just a few lines of code and StatusBarOverlay will automatically show & hide when internet connection is lost & regained
Support for apps that hide the status bar permanently
Support for the iPhone X Notch
Optionally you can choose to show the status bar anytime with custom text, eg for Debug or Demo modes
Optionally you can show a drop down message, below the status bar, with a click handle, great for nonintrusive alerts
Fully customisable colors & text

How to install

Add this to your CocoaPods Podfile


                                              
                                                pod ‘StatusBarOverlay’

How to use

In your Info.plist file set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance = true

In your AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions() method set StatusBarOverlay.host to your server domain. StatusBarOverlay will use this to check connectivity


                                              
                                                func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
StatusBarOverlay.host = “example.com”
return true

}

If you use a common UIViewController subclass, add the following to it. All of view controllers show override these methods, so its best to use a common UIViewController subclass


                                              
                                                import StatusBarOverlay // if StatusBarOverlay is in CocoaPod
extension CommonViewController {
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {

return StatusBarOverlay.preferredStatusBarStyle

}
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {

return StatusBarOverlay.prefersStatusBarHidden

}
override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation {

return StatusBarOverlay.preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation

}

}

Thats it. Run your app, try turning on and off airplane mode and the No Internet Connection bar will show and hide. On the simulator sometimes the hiding event isnt fired. All devices work normally
