Online not firing on iOS

[danfleck]

Online event isn't firing on iOS.

Environment:
iOS iPhone 5 emulator. iOS version: 10.3.1
Also tried same thing on iOS iPhone 6s emulator with iOS 11.4
On physical iPhone 5 with iOS 11.4.1 everything seems to work. Does the plugin have problems in the emulator?

cordova platforms   iOS 4.5.5

Steps to repeat:
cordova create test
cordova platforms add ios@latest
Add this to index.js:

onDeviceReady: function() {
        this.receivedEvent('deviceready');

        document.addEventListener("online", () => { 
		console.log("ONLINE")
        }, false);
        document.addEventListener("offline", () => { 
		console.log("OFFLINE")
        }, false);
    },

On the machine running the emulator turn off all network access.

At this point "OFFLINE" prints (good!)

Turn on network access on the computer running the emulator.

Expect to see "ONLINE" but I see nothing.

I have the same setup and issue,
I found out that online event will be fired if you switch device to background and foreground.

Have the same issue. Workaround by @darkmoment0088 works for me.
