Thanks @Tarek for his answer

Here, code in Swift 4 version

func getPublicIPAddress() -> String {
    var publicIP = ""
    do {
        try publicIP = String(contentsOf: URL(string: "https://www.bluewindsolution.com/tools/getpublicip.php")!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
        publicIP = publicIP.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespaces)
    }
    catch {
        print("Error: \(error)")
    }
    return publicIP
}

NOTE1: To get public IP address, we must have external site to return public IP. The website I use is business company website, so, it will be their until the business gone.

NOTE2: You can made some site by yourself, however, Apple require HTTPS site to be able to use this function.
