But app does not use any wifi or network, it needs to dial a number or send a sms, so I'd need to detect airplane mode to abort before app calls the telephone api... SBUsesNetwork can't help because if you tap ok airplane mode is still active, app quits iphone takes control and trying to dial the number, a panel indicating you in airmode pops up again and if you tap ok it simply crashes... mah Why they did not provided a way to check that flag? Any idea? help please... Hello, my app has been rejected one day after approval due to crash when airplane mode is active.

I was searching to detect airplane mode in iPhone..And my search ended in this page.. When I tried to include SBUsesNetwork in my plist, It didn't show it in the dropdown. but there I found another property, "Application uses Wi-Fi " and I set that Boolean to YES, now it works well!! This is Just FYI.. Thank you for posting this!! Thanks Björn Sållarp!

So I am now reading about the UIAlertView class. Thanks for posting this.

I had an app which uses MapKit, and was initially rejected due to the network issue. I added the SBUsesNetwork flag, and it was approved Sept 16. I then submitted a Pro version of the app, and it was rejected today. Thanks. I had an app which uses MapKit, and was initially rejected due to the network issue.

The SBUsesNetwork code only applies if Airplane Mode is turned on. It does not apply if you are on an iPod touch with Wi-Fi off, or on an iPhone with no cellular signal. The only sample code apple applies is their "Reachability" demo app. It's up to you to implement the code to error prompt when internet is/isn't available. If your app is already approved, Apple appears to be letting some get a pass on not adding the code... but if your app isn't approved yet... this isn't enough anymore.
