Swift - Get device's WIFI IP Address
According to several SO threads (e.g. What exactly means iOS networking interface name? what's pdp_ip ? what's ap?), the WiFi interface on an iOS device always has then name "en0".
Your code (which seems to be what I answered at How to get Ip address in swift :) retrieves a list of the IP addresses of all running network interfaces. It can easily be modified to return only the IP address
of the "en0" interface, and actually that is what I originally had
answered at that thread (and this is just a Swift translation of the
answer to how to get ip address of iphone programmatically):
// Return IP address of WiFi interface (en0) as a String, or `nil`
func getWiFiAddress() -> String? {
var address : String?
// Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:
var ifaddr : UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs> = nil
if getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == 0 {
// For each interface ...
var ptr = ifaddr
while ptr != nil {
defer { ptr = ptr.memory.ifa_next }
let interface = ptr.memory
// Check for IPv4 or IPv6 interface:
let addrFamily = interface.ifa_addr.memory.sa_family
if addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET) || addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET6) {
// Check interface name:
if let name = String.fromCString(interface.ifa_name) where name == "en0" {
// Convert interface address to a human readable string:
var hostname = [CChar](count: Int(NI_MAXHOST), repeatedValue: 0)
getnameinfo(interface.ifa_addr, socklen_t(interface.ifa_addr.memory.sa_len),
&hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST)
address = String.fromCString(hostname)
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
}
return address
}
Usage:
if let addr = getWiFiAddress() {
print(addr)
} else {
print("No WiFi address")
}
Update for Swift 3: In addition to adopting the code to the
many changes in Swift 3,
iterating over all interfaces can now use the new generalizedsequence() function:
Do NOT forget to add #include <ifaddrs.h> in your bridging header
// Return IP address of WiFi interface (en0) as a String, or `nil`
func getWiFiAddress() -> String? {
var address : String?
// Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:
var ifaddr : UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>?
guard getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == 0 else { return nil }
guard let firstAddr = ifaddr else { return nil }
// For each interface ...
for ifptr in sequence(first: firstAddr, next: { $0.pointee.ifa_next }) {
let interface = ifptr.pointee
// Check for IPv4 or IPv6 interface:
let addrFamily = interface.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_family
if addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET) || addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET6) {
// Check interface name:
let name = String(cString: interface.ifa_name)
if name == "en0" {
// Convert interface address to a human readable string:
var hostname = [CChar](repeating: 0, count: Int(NI_MAXHOST))
getnameinfo(interface.ifa_addr, socklen_t(interface.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_len),
&hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST)
address = String(cString: hostname)
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
return address
}
For those of you who came looking for more than the WIFI IP you could modify this code a little
func getAddress(for network: Network) -> String? {
var address: String?
// Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:
var ifaddr: UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>?
guard getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == 0 else { return nil }
guard let firstAddr = ifaddr else { return nil }
// For each interface ...
for ifptr in sequence(first: firstAddr, next: { $0.pointee.ifa_next }) {
let interface = ifptr.pointee
// Check for IPv4 or IPv6 interface:
let addrFamily = interface.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_family
if addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET) || addrFamily == UInt8(AF_INET6) {
// Check interface name:
let name = String(cString: interface.ifa_name)
if name == network.rawValue {
// Convert interface address to a human readable string:
var hostname = [CChar](repeating: 0, count: Int(NI_MAXHOST))
getnameinfo(interface.ifa_addr, socklen_t(interface.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_len),
&hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST)
address = String(cString: hostname)
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
return address
}
enum Network: String {
case wifi = "en0"
case cellular = "pdp_ip0"
//... case ipv4 = "ipv4"
//... case ipv6 = "ipv6"
}
Then we have access to the cellular IP as well.
guard let wifiIp = getAddress(for: .wifi) else { return }
&
guard let cellularIp = getAddress(for: .cellular) else { return }
Get IPAddress of iPhone or iPad device Using Swift 3
Add #include<ifaddrs.h> in your bridging header.
This is the framework needed to get IP address.
Also you can refer the following link:
Swift - Get device's IP Address
Get Network (Not device) IP address iOS swift
It seems that you are looking for your external IP, while your local IP is 192.168.4.1. Without the help of some external service, it is impossible ...

How to get Ip address in swift
As it turned out in the discussion, OP needs the interface address on a Mac and not on an iOS device as I thought initially. The code referenced in the question checks for the
interface name "en0", which is the WiFi interface on the iPhone. On a Mac it makes more
sense to check for any "up-and-running" interface instead.
Therefore I have rewritten the answer. It is now a Swift translation of the code in
Detect any connected network.
getifaddrs() is defined in <ifaddrs.h>, which is not included by default.
Therefore you have to create a bridging header and add
#include <ifaddrs.h>
The following function returns
an array with the names of all local "up-and-running" network interfaces.
func getIFAddresses() -> [String] {
var addresses = [String]()
// Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:
var ifaddr : UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs> = nil
if getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == 0 {
// For each interface ...
var ptr = ifaddr
while ptr != nil {
defer { ptr = ptr.memory.ifa_next }
let flags = Int32(ptr.memory.ifa_flags)
let addr = ptr.memory.ifa_addr.memory
// Check for running IPv4, IPv6 interfaces. Skip the loopback interface.
if (flags & (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING|IFF_LOOPBACK)) == (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING) {
if addr.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET) || addr.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET6) {
// Convert interface address to a human readable string:
var hostname = [CChar](count: Int(NI_MAXHOST), repeatedValue: 0)
if (getnameinfo(ptr.memory.ifa_addr, socklen_t(addr.sa_len), &hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST) == 0) {
if let address = String.fromCString(hostname) {
addresses.append(address)
}
}
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
}
return addresses
}
Update for Swift 3: In addition to adopting the code to the
many changes in Swift 3,
iterating over all interfaces can now use the new generalizedsequence() function:
func getIFAddresses() -> [String] {
var addresses = [String]()
// Get list of all interfaces on the local machine:

guard let firstAddr = ifaddr else { return [] }
// For each interface ...
for ptr in sequence(first: firstAddr, next: { $0.pointee.ifa_next }) {
let flags = Int32(ptr.pointee.ifa_flags)
let addr = ptr.pointee.ifa_addr.pointee
// Check for running IPv4, IPv6 interfaces. Skip the loopback interface.
if (flags & (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING|IFF_LOOPBACK)) == (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING) {
if addr.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET) || addr.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET6) {
// Convert interface address to a human readable string:
var hostname = [CChar](repeating: 0, count: Int(NI_MAXHOST))
if (getnameinfo(ptr.pointee.ifa_addr, socklen_t(addr.sa_len), &hostname, socklen_t(hostname.count),
nil, socklen_t(0), NI_NUMERICHOST) == 0) {
let address = String(cString: hostname)
addresses.append(address)
}
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr)
return addresses
}
