After running some tests, the
stream
fails silently after 4-10 minutes of the app being in the background.I've implemented a solution addressing streams intermittently stopping after the app is backgrounded and re-foregrounded. The solution involves listening for specific app state notifications and managing the stream accordingly.
Here's the relevant code:
In this code:
We listen for the
UIApplication.willResignActiveNotification
notification. When this notification is received, indicating the app is moving to the background, we cancel thestreamTask
, effectively stopping the stream.We also listen for the
UIApplication.willEnterForegroundNotification
notification. When this notification is received, indicating the app is moving to the foreground, we create a new task that loads the messages and starts the stream again.This approach ensures that the stream is properly managed when the app transitions between the foreground and background states, preventing it from 'dying' silently without errors.
