airplane_mode_checker

---

A Flutter plugin allows you to check the status of Airplane Mode on iOS and Android mobile.

Platform Support

Platform	Supported	Notes
Android	✅	Full support
iOS	⚠️	Limited - see below

iOS Limitations

Important: iOS does not provide a public API to reliably detect Airplane Mode in all cases.

• ✅ Works on cellular devices (iPhone, iPad with cellular)
• ❌ Limited accuracy on WiFi-only devices (iPad WiFi, iPod Touch)
• The plugin uses CTTelephonyNetworkInfo which only works with cellular radios

This is a platform limitation by Apple, not a plugin issue. The plugin provides the best detection possible within iOS constraints.

Installation

Add the following line to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  airplane_mode_checker: ^3.2.0

Add the following import to your Dart code:

import 'package:airplane_mode_checker/airplane_mode_checker.dart';

Check Airplane Mode

In order to check the airplane mode, use AirplaneModeChecker.checkAirplaneMode() as below.

You will get the return AirplaneModeStatus:

• AirplaneModeStatus.on
• AirplaneModeStatus.off

final status = await AirplaneModeChecker.instance.checkAirplaneMode();
if (status == AirplaneModeStatus.on) {
  print('Airplane mode is ON');
} else {
  print('Airplane mode is OFF');
}

Listen to Airplane Mode Changes

To listen for changes in the status of airplane mode, use AirplaneModeChecker.instance.listenAirplaneMode().

This will return a Stream<AirplaneModeStatus>:

AirplaneModeChecker.instance.listenAirplaneMode().listen((status) {
  if (status == AirplaneModeStatus.on) {
    print('Airplane mode is ON');
  } else {
    print('Airplane mode is OFF');
  }
});
