Checking Internet Connectivity in Swift — A Simple and Reliable Solution

Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in Swift and iOS development. I'm writing an app that loads data from the network, but I've run into a problem: if the internet is disconnected, the app just hangs or crashes with an error. I need to check for internet connectivity before making a request. I found Apple's old Reachability library, but it's in Objective-C and, as I understand, is already outdated. I tried using it via a bridging header but got confused. I've also heard about NWPathMonitor from Network.framework, but I don't understand how to properly integrate it into my app. Here's an example of my code where I try to load data without checking: ```swift import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() fetchData() } func fetchData() { let url = URL(string: "https://api.example.com/data")! let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in if let data = data
