How to get my IP address programmatically on iOS/macOS?

I would like to obtain my iPad's IP address programmatically. How can I query the networking subsystem to find out what my IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses are?

PS: Can I disable IPv6 somehow?

The following code finds all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on an iOS or OSX device. The first getIPAddress method acts more or less as the older code in this answer: you can prefer either one or the other type address, and it always prefers WIFI over cellular (obviously you could change this).

More interestingly it can return a dictionary of all addresses found, skipping addresses for not up interfaces, or addresses associated with loopback. The previous code as well as other solutions on this topic will not properly decode IPv6 (inet_ntoa cannot deal with them). This was pointed out to me by Jens Alfke on an Apple forum - the proper function to use is inet_ntop (look at the man page, and or refer to this inet_ntop article also provided by Jens.

The dictionary keys have the form "interface" "/" "ipv4 or ipv6".

#include <ifaddrs.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <net/if.h>

#define IOS_CELLULAR	@"pdp_ip0"
#define IOS_WIFI		@"en0"
//#define IOS_VPN		@"utun0"
#define IP_ADDR_IPv4	@"ipv4"
#define IP_ADDR_IPv6	@"ipv6"

                continue; // deeply nested code harder to read
            }
            const struct sockaddr_in *addr = (const struct sockaddr_in*)interface->ifa_addr;
			char addrBuf[ MAX(INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN) ];
            if(addr && (addr->sin_family==AF_INET || addr->sin_family==AF_INET6)) {
                NSString *name = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:interface->ifa_name];
				NSString *type;
				if(addr->sin_family == AF_INET) {
					if(inet_ntop(AF_INET, &addr->sin_addr, addrBuf, INET_ADDRSTRLEN)) {
						type = IP_ADDR_IPv4;
					}
				} else {
					const struct sockaddr_in6 *addr6 = (const struct sockaddr_in6*)interface->ifa_addr;
					if(inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &addr6->sin6_addr, addrBuf, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN)) {
						type = IP_ADDR_IPv6;
					}
				}
				if(type) {
					NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", name, type];

				}
            }
        }
        // Free memory
        freeifaddrs(interfaces);
    }
    return [addresses count] ? addresses : nil;
}

EDIT1: Code updated on May 16, 2014 (bug pointed out by lhunath, see comments). Loopback addresses now returned, but its easy for you to uncomment the test to exclude them yourself.

EDIT2: (by some unknown person): Improved further March 13, 2015: In case the user uses a VPN (regardless over WiFi or Cellular), the previous code would have failed. Now, it works even with VPN connections. VPN connections are given precedence over WiFi and Cell because that's how the device handles it. This should even work for Macs as the VPN connection on a Mac is also using IF utun0 but not tested.

EDIT3: (9/8/2016) Given the problems experienced by @Qiulang (see comments) with the VPN code (which someone else added), I've commented it out. If anyone knows definitively how to specify a user VPN please chime in with a comment.

In your implementation file .m ,

#import <ifaddrs.h>
#import <arpa/inet.h>



// Get IP Address
- (NSString *)getIPAddress {    
    NSString *address = @"error";
    struct ifaddrs *interfaces = NULL;
    struct ifaddrs *temp_addr = NULL;
    int success = 0;
    // retrieve the current interfaces - returns 0 on success
    success = getifaddrs(&interfaces);
    if (success == 0) {
        // Loop through linked list of interfaces
        temp_addr = interfaces;
        while(temp_addr != NULL) {
            if(temp_addr->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) {
                // Check if interface is en0 which is the wifi connection on the iPhone
                if([[NSString stringWithUTF8String:temp_addr->ifa_name] isEqualToString:@"en0"]) {
                    // Get NSString from C String
                    address = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:inet_ntoa(((struct sockaddr_in *)temp_addr->ifa_addr)->sin_addr)];               
                }
            }
            temp_addr = temp_addr->ifa_next;
        }
    }
    // Free memory
    freeifaddrs(interfaces);
    return address;
    
} 

Many existing solutions only consider wireless interfaces, which won't work for wired connections via an Ethernet adapter (ie. no Wifi or 3G); see this more recent solution which considers IP addresses obtained through wired interfaces as well.

Get IP address using Swift 3:

func getIPAddress() -> String {
    var address: String = "error"

    var interfaces: ifaddrs? = nil

    var temp_addr: ifaddrs? = nil
    var success: Int = 0
    // retrieve the current interfaces - returns 0 on success
    success = getifaddrs(interfaces)
    if success == 0 {
        // Loop through linked list of interfaces
        temp_addr = interfaces
        while temp_addr != nil {
            if temp_addr?.ifa_addr?.sa_family == AF_INET {
                // Check if interface is en0 which is the wifi connection on the iPhone
                if (String(utf8String: temp_addr?.ifa_name) == "en0") {
                    // Get NSString from C String
                    address = String(utf8String: inet_ntoa((temp_addr?.ifa_addr as? sockaddr_in)?.sin_addr))
                }
            }
            temp_addr = temp_addr?.ifa_next
        }
    }
        // Free memory
    freeifaddrs(interfaces)
    return address
}

@DavidH's answer works fine till I got this result from some 4G cellular network:

{
    "lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
    "lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
    "pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.132.76.168";
    "utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::72c3:e25e:da85:b730";
}

I am not using vpn so I have no idea why I had a utun0/ipv6.

--- Updated ---

I further debug this issue and found that I can get an fake vpn address even in other 4G networks (is this iOS bug??),

{
    ""awdl0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::c018:9fff:feb2:988"";
    ""en0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::181a:2e43:f91b:db2b"";
    ""lo0/ipv4"" = ""127.0.0.1"";
    ""lo0/ipv6"" = ""fe80::1"";
    ""pdp_ip0/ipv4"" = ""10.48.10.210"";
    ""utun0/ipv4"" = ""192.168.99.2"";
}

If I did use vpn I will get this:

{
    "lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
    "lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
    "pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.49.187.23";
    "utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::5748:5b5d:2bf0:658d";
    "utun1/ipv4" = "192.168.99.2"; //the real one
}

So it is utun1 NOT utun0

Without figuring out why I will just have to drop vpn check :(

---- update ----

I raised a bug (28131847) to apple and replied with "Not all utun interfaces are for VPN. There are other OS features that use utun interfaces."

But when I asked how to get a valid vpn IP address then, their answer was rather disappointed, "You can go into Settings -> VPN and look at your VPN configuration to see if the VPN is active. In some cases you can see the assigned IP address there as well. We are now closing this bug report." :(

---- update 2016/11/04 ----

I hit the problem again and I need to further modify @DavidH's answer to fix it:

I was in 4G network and I got this address:

addresses: {
    "awdl0/ipv6" = "fe80::98fd:e6ff:fea9:3afd";
    "en0/ipv6" = "fe80::8dd:7d92:4159:170e";
    "lo0/ipv4" = "127.0.0.1";
    "lo0/ipv6" = "fe80::1";
    "pdp_ip0/ipv4" = "10.37.212.102";
    "utun0/ipv6" = "fe80::279c:ea56:a2ef:d128";
}

With his original answer I will get the wifi IP fe80::8dd:7d92:4159:170e, which was fake and connection failed.

So I modified the code to like,

[searchArray enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSString *key, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop)
 {
     if ((internetReach.isReachableViaWiFi && [key hasPrefix:IOS_WIFI]) ||
         (internetReach.isReachableViaWWAN && [key hasPrefix:IOS_CELLULAR])) {
         address = addresses[key];
         if(address) *stop = YES;
     }
 } ];

The current solution doesn't return the en0 device on OS X, the following code uses the System Configuration Framework to get the interfaces then uses standard C functions to get the IP address.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#define IFT_ETHER 0x6

#include <SystemConfiguration/SCDynamicStore.h>

+(void)getInterfaces
{
    SCDynamicStoreRef storeRef = SCDynamicStoreCreate(NULL, (CFStringRef)@"FindCurrentInterfaceIpMac", NULL, NULL);
    CFPropertyListRef global = SCDynamicStoreCopyValue (storeRef,CFSTR("State:/Network/Interface"));
    id primaryInterface = [(__bridge NSDictionary *)global valueForKey:@"Interfaces"];

    for (NSString* item in primaryInterface)
    {
        if(get_iface_address([item UTF8String]))
        {
            NSString *ip = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:get_iface_address([item UTF8String])];
            NSLog(@"interface: %@ - %@",item,ip);
        } else
            NSLog(@"interface: %@",item);
    }
}

static char * get_iface_address (char *interface)
{
    int sock;
    uint32_t ip;
    struct ifreq ifr;
    char *val;

    if (!interface)
        return NULL;

    /* determine UDN according to MAC address */
    sock = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sock < 0)
    {
        perror ("socket");
        return NULL;
    }

    strcpy (ifr.ifr_name, interface);
    ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET;

    if (ioctl (sock, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifr) < 0)
    {
        perror ("ioctl");
        close (sock);
        return NULL;
    }

    val = (char *) malloc (16 * sizeof (char));
    ip = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr.ifr_addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
    ip = ntohl (ip);
    sprintf (val, "%d.%d.%d.%d",
             (ip >> 24) & 0xFF, (ip >> 16) & 0xFF, (ip >> 8) & 0xFF, ip & 0xFF);

    close (sock);

    return val;
}

This answer was inspired by @DavidH's answer. I fixed some issues, replaced inet_ntop with getnameinfo which allows a cleaner approach. Note that this yields a dictionary that maps an interface name to an array of IP addresses (an interface can have multiple IPv4 and IPv6's associated with it, technically). It does not distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6:

  // Get all our interface addresses.
  struct ifaddrs *ifAddresses;
  if (getifaddrs( &ifAddresses ) != 0) {
    NSLog( @"Couldn't get interface addresses: %d", errno );
    return nil;
  }

  int error;
  char host[MAX( INET_ADDRSTRLEN, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN )];
  _ipAddressesByInterface = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:8];

  for (struct ifaddrs *ifAddress = ifAddresses; ifAddress; ifAddress = ifAddress->ifa_next) {
    if (!(ifAddress->ifa_flags & IFF_UP) || (ifAddress->ifa_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))
      // Ignore interfaces that aren't up and loopback interfaces.
      continue;

    if (ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_family != AF_INET && ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_family != AF_INET6)
      // Ignore non-internet addresses.
      continue;

    if ((error = getnameinfo( ifAddress->ifa_addr, ifAddress->ifa_addr->sa_len, host, sizeof( host ), NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST )) != noErr) {
      // Couldn't to format host name for this address.
      NSLog( @"Couldn't resolve host name for address: %s", gai_strerror( error ) );
      continue;
    }

    NSString *ifName = [NSString stringWithCString:ifAddress->ifa_name encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSMutableArray *ifIpAddresses = _ipAddressesByInterface[ifName];
    if (!ifIpAddresses)
      ifIpAddresses = _ipAddressesByInterface[ifName] = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:2];
    [ifIpAddresses addObject:[NSString stringWithCString:host encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
  }

  freeifaddrs( ifAddresses );
  return _ipAddressesByInterface;

Great solution for swift in [This file] [1] which serves all the details.

In One of my app I need to fetch wifi IP address. I have used answers above, in swift 3 like this:

let WIFI_IF = "en0"
let UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS = ""
var addresses: [AnyHashable: Any] = ["wireless": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS, "wired": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS, "cell": UNKNOWN_IP_ADDRESS]
var interfaces: UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>? = nil
var temp_addr: UnsafeMutablePointer<ifaddrs>? = nil
var success: Int = 0
success = Int(getifaddrs(&interfaces))
if success == 0 {
   temp_addr = interfaces
   while temp_addr != nil {
      if temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr == nil {
           continue
      }
      if temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr.pointee.sa_family == UInt8(AF_INET) {
         if (String(utf8String: (temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_name)!) == WIFI_IF) {
             addresses["wireless"] = String(utf8String: inet_ntoa(((temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_addr as? sockaddr_in)?.sin_addr)!))
         }
      }
      temp_addr = temp_addr?.pointee.ifa_next
   }
}

In this code, It crashes because I have to check for nil in each statement I have used as optional with ?. So it is better for me to use given linked file in my class. It becomes easy for me to check now like:

class func getWifiIPAddress() -> String {
    var wifiIp = ""
    
    let WIFI_IF = "en0"
    let allInterface = Interface.allInterfaces()
    
    for interf in allInterface {
        if interf.name == WIFI_IF {
            if let address = interf.address {
                
                if address.contains(".") {
                wifiIp = address
                break
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    return wifiIp
}

I have parsed string for "." because Interface Class returns two interface in my iPhone for en0 address like "fb00::" and address like "101.10.1.1" [1]: https://github.com/svdo/swift-netutils/blob/master/NetUtils/Interface.swift

I created a simple file for getting the ip address. I based this solution on @ lundhjem's, @DavidH's and @Ihunath's answers. It considers wired connections. I haven't included VPN in this solution though.
