Description

When an iPhone (SE) with iOS 11.2 is disconnected from WIFI but connected to a CELL network (Vodafone UK) either;

• by being out of reach of a WIFI network, or
• by forgetting the WIFI network in iOS settings or
• by disabling WIFI in the iOS control panel:

then

1. A cordova/phonegap app reports navigator.connection.type === Connection.NONE instead of Connection.CELLxxx
2. Upon launching such cordova/phonegap app an offline event is triggered
