# preventsExpensiveNetworkAccess

Prevents expensive network access, such as cellular, for the service.

```
var preventsExpensiveNetworkAccess: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When `true`, the service only performs work for the associated configuration while the
device has a non-expensive network connection (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet); cellular
connectivity is not used. Defaults to `false`.
