Native network information retrieval features using the Android SDK and iOS SDK.
Due to an old Webview bug and limitation of Web APIs. The use of Web APIs for checking if the application is online or not is inconsistent and provided network information is inaccurate. Therefore, it is recommended to use the native Android SDK and native iOS SDK in retrieving network information, hence the Mobile Network plugin was created.
