📄 Description

This PR adds support to network monitoring on iOS to check if a network is metered or unmetered (this already is implemented on the android side).
The check is based on the informations from this article Swift check network connection(thanks Anders Jensen) and the Apple Documentation

Documentation:

isExpensive (iOS 13.0+)

The system considers an interface expensive if it’s more costly or consumes more power, such as 3G or LTE as compared to ethernet or Wi-Fi.

isConstrained (iOS 13.0+)

A constrained interface is one the user marks as constrained by selecting “Low Data Mode” in the Settings app.

Demo: (running on iPhone 13 with iOS 17.5.1)

In the demo, I demonstrate a WiFi network as unmetered. Afterward, I change to a cellular network and a WiFi network as metered (with the Low Data toggle enabled).
