network.connection.type is always unkown on iOS 13.2.2 about cordova-plugin-network-information

This is how it looks like when I debug the app.

Just came across this as well

Is anyone of you Apple to test the iOS 13.3 Beta? Does the issue still persist? Also, is, e.g., iOS 13.2 or lower affected, too?

I could imagine that Apple changed the API - or broke it (temporarily).

I noticed this behaviour

• Open xcode

• Run the app on your device

• it says connection type unknown

• just close the app, that means app is still running in the background

• again open the app on device

• now connection type is WiFi (if your device is connected to WiFi)

My Connection type only returns for WIFI, all the others come back as none

I noticed this post: https://programmer.help/blogs/new-features-of-cncopycurrent-network-info-in-ios-13.html
IMO apple changed the behaviour to protect user privacy.

It seems only some apps can obtain more information of the network.

I think the plugin uses an older api (the Objective C Reachablity - api) than mentioned in the post, but the rules will probably remain the same.

Running in iOS simulator, the navigator.connection.type starts off with value wifi. If I turn off the host wifi, then the type becomes none as expected. But when I turn wifi back on, the type still remains none forever. It never updates back to wifi.
