However, i want to prompt the users to turn on the network connection prior to opening the app or else the app will not load if the device is not connected to the internet. Is it possible? Thanks in advance. Title Comments Hi guys, I am making an app which requires using internet connection most of the time.

That way you are completely upfront with them about the requirement before they buy it.

Go into your app delegate .m file, and paste in this code after the [window makeKeyAndVisible] line: [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Internet Required" message:@"Make sure you have your Internet turned on" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil] show]; Hope that helps!

One more request, can the cancel button be changed to "Setting" such that when the user cancels it will go to the network connection setting for them to enable it? Thanks very much in advance.
