SocketIO pauses when app enters into background. ( Swift 3, iOS 10 )

[ghost]

I want to try local notifications using SOCKETIO., when the app is running on simulator everything is fine and displaying values even when the app enters into background.
But when It's running on iPhone, when the app enters into background task suspends/ get paused. Please help me regarding this issue.

Right, because iOS doesn't allow background networking unless you have a certain permission enabled, and then you must start a background task.

I also happened same case like you. But in my case, i called soketio.run() function in the "applicationWillEnterForeground" function of AppDelegate. Hope this helps you

Please use "connect" .I am using this swift library from objective-c project. Here is my code.

we can connect or disconnect to socket.io

Sure, because you're not heeding @nuclearace 's advice:

Right, because iOS doesn't allow background networking unless you have a certain permission enabled, and then you must start a background task.

Please read on background tasks on iOS and the iOS background permissions. Hint:
UIApplication beginBackgroundTask(withName taskName: String?, expirationHandler handler: (() -> Void)? = nil) -> UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier
