I have a React Native application and I'm seeking to add functionality that checks if there is an active internet connection when the app first starts up, and continuously thereafter.
If there is no internet connection, I'm seeking to display a message saying "Internet connection not detected" with a button to "Try again"; if there is an internet connection, I'm seeking to load a page (WebView).
I'm also seeking to support both iOS and Android devices; I've researched this independently and have found a couple libraries on GitHub. However, many require an extra step of including a permissions addition in Android Manifest XML, however I don't see an Android Manifest XML file in my app; why does only Android need a manifest?
Any help is appreciated; thanks and take care.
