iPhone X simulator network activity indicator not showing

Does the iPhone X simulator support the network activity indicator? In an existing Obj-C app or a simple test app where I set UIApplication.shared.isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible = true or false from button actions, nothing changes in the simulator. Does the iPhone X support this indicator? Is it supposed to work in the simulator? Unfortunately I don't have a real iPhone X to test on.


Xcode 9.1, Simulator "Version 10.0 (SimulatorApp-835.2.1 CoreSimulator-494.22.7)"

Unfortunately it looks like activity indicator is not yet implemented at all visually. I’m yet to see it anywhere (I’m on an actual device), and the design that was shown earlier is nowhere to be found. Annoying to say the least...

Yes, it's very puzzling - I'm not seeing the network activity indicator at all on an iPhone X with iOS 11.1.2, in my app or as far as I can see any other app.

Seems true there is none - see this support page that lists a network activity indicator for devices other than iPhone X:

According to the Human Interface Guidelines:


On all devices except iPhone X, a network activity indicator spins in the status bar at the top of the screen as networking occurs.
