I thought I'd seen advice from Apple engineers (Quinn?) that instead of first checking SCNetworkReachability, we should just try to make the actual connection, and then take action (e.g. alert the user) only if that fails. But of course, if there's going to be a long timeout, I don't want to make the user wait that long. In my app, there are many moving parts. Background processes try to make network connections (that should not necessarily complain if they fail), sometimes the user initiates network connections...it's challenging to get it all correct. What was the specific advice regarding checking SCNR vs. just trying to connect?
