[Bug]: ConnectivityResult.none is reported when using Microsoft Tunnel for Microsoft Intune

[xphc-swissas]

Platform

iOS 26.4

Plugin

connectivity_plus

Version

6.1.5

Flutter SDK

3.35.4

Steps to reproduce

A customer is running our app on iOS using Microsoft Tunnel for Microsoft Intune. This Microsoft service is supposed to start a VPN service on the device as soon as there is a network request from the app it controls.

Our app has the following logic when it starts up: if the connectivity_plus plugin reports some connectivity, we start a ping service and show an online/offline banner depending on whether we can ping our server or not.

When Microsoft Tunnel is in use, Connectivity.none is reported and our ping service doesn't start, which in turn does not turn on the VPN.

For the end user, they will not be able to login on the first attempt, the network request will fail with "no route to host". This failed request will however start the VPN service. On a second attempt, the login then works. Our customer rightfully argues that the login should work on the first attempt.

Looking at the connectivityFrom method in PathMonitorConnectivityProvider, I noticed that it does not consider path.status = .requiresConnection. I assume this is the issue and it should be handled also by the plugin.

NWPath.Status.requiresConnection

The workaround for us is to adapt our app to ping regardless of the connectivity status however we believe this could be covered by the plugin directly. Thanks for considering.

Internal request reference: 462000.

Code Sample

bool _isNetworkAvailable(List<ConnectivityResult> result) {
    return result.contains(ConnectivityResult.mobile) ||
        result.contains(ConnectivityResult.wifi) ||
        result.contains(ConnectivityResult.ethernet) ||
        result.contains(ConnectivityResult.vpn) ||
        result.contains(ConnectivityResult.bluetooth) ||
        result.contains(ConnectivityResult.other);
  }

Connectivity connectivity = Connectivity();
connectivity.onConnectivityChanged.listen((List<ConnectivityResult> result) {
  _debug('Connectivity: new connectivity type: ${result.join(',')}');
  if (_isNetworkAvailable(result)) {
    // start ping
  }
  else {
    // stop ping
  }
});
