  the native way of doing this on iOS would be `SCNetworkReachability` which is part of the built-in SystemConfiguration framework. That call requires the endpoint to check as an input - thus prompting the developer to think about if they are contacting an unnecessary third party. So while this isn't really the specific fault of react native, it does seem to me to be the fault of a non-native framework that encourages developers to use higher level abstractions rather than system frameworks.

    The library in question did use that function, but without something set up at the endpoint, it's not very useful: > A remote host is considered reachable when a data packet, sent by an application into the network stack, can leave the local device. Reachability does not guarantee that the data packet will actually be received by the host. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/systemconfiguration/scnetworkreachability-g7d https://developer.apple.com/documentation/systemconfiguratio...
