How do I know if cellular access for my iOS app is disabled?

by

So I found this on the apple dev forums from an Apple engineer (https://devforums.apple.com/message/1059332#1059332).

Another developer wrote in to DTS and thus I had a chance to
investigate this in depth. Alas, the news is much as I expected:
there is no supported way to detect that your app is in this state.
Nor is there a way to make a “no user interaction” network connection,
that is, request that the connection fail rather than present UI like
this. If these limitations are causing problems for your app, I
encourage you to file a bug describing your specific requirements.
https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

So it looks like it is not possible to detect if cellular data for your app has been turned off.

Edit

I filed a radar for this requesting that it be added. I just got this notification in my radar

We believe this issue has been addressed in the latest iOS 9 beta.

I looked through the API diffs, but so far I can’t find the new API.
