sendMessage: toChannel: stops working after device goes to sleep about objective-c HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello @biznickman

Can you check whether you are running our latest version of PubNub SDK (3.5.4) from Xcode console when you are running the app?

Not sure on whether I get your point, but do you try to send messages while application in background? Do you have any "Required background modes" specified in Info.plist?

P.S. If it is possible, can you contact us with this issue on [email protected] and attach log files from Document folder for your application (if on iOS) and user Document folder (in case of Mac OS). Files will be named as: pubnub-console-dump.txt

@biznickman also do you subscribed to any channels before application enters background execution context?

If there is "Required background modes" in Info.plist, make sure to implement - (BOOL)shouldRunClientInBackground delegate method which will return NO - it will allow PubNub client to suspend itself while application entering background. There is special cases when one of "Required background modes" will allow to run application persistently in background - for this cases there is no need to implement suggested method above. But if you can't keep your application running persistently in background (in case if any value specified in "Required background modes") you need to implement suggested delegate method and return NO from it.

Hi @parfeon,

Thanks for the rapid response. I'm happy to shoot you an email. However a couple quick notes:

1. I'm using 3.5.3 as that's the latest version of the .podspec file (I'm using cocoapods).
2. I'm not trying to send a message while in the background. So no, I don't have "Required background modes". The actions to reproduce are as follows: Load app --> Create message (it works) --> let the device go to sleep --> awake device --> send message (it doesn't work) --> let the device go to sleep ---> awake device --> message is sent
3. I'm using iOS but not sure what document folder you are referring to.

Best regards,
