# UIRequiresPersistentWiFi

A Boolean value that indicates whether the app requires a Wi-Fi connection.

## Discussion

Discussion If YES, iOS opens a Wi-Fi connection when the app launches and keeps it open while the app is running. If NO, iOS closes the active Wi-Fi connection after 30 minutes. If the app tries to connect to the network when there’s no open Wi-Fi connection, the system may use the cellular network instead.
