Socket.io-client-swift: WebSocket connection drops right away

[heisian]

in Obj-C:

    NSURL* url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"https://api.kubi.me:3000"];
    SocketIOClient* socket = [[SocketIOClient alloc] initWithSocketURL:url options:@{@"forceWebsockets": @YES, @"forcePolling": @NO, @"log": @YES}];

    [socket on:@"connect" callback:^(NSArray* data, SocketAckEmitter* ack) {
        NSLog(@"socket connected");
    }];

    [socket on:@"command-send" callback:^(NSArray* data, SocketAckEmitter* ack) {
        NSLog(@"SOCKET IO!!!");
    }];

    [socket on:@"message" callback:^(NSArray* data, SocketAckEmitter* ack) {
        NSLog(@"SOCKET IO!!!");
    }];

    [socket connect];

server app.js:

io.sockets.on('connection',function(socket){
    console.log('['+Date.now()/1000+'] Socket connected:    ' + socket.id + ' ('+ socket.client.conn.transport.constr$

    socket.on('channel',function(ch){
        socket.join(ch);
    });

    socket.on('disconnect',function(){
        console.log('['+Date.now()/1000+'] Socket disconnected: ' + socket.id + ' ('+ socket.client.conn.transport.co$
    });

    socket.on('command-request', function() {
        io.emit('command-send');
        console.log('Got a command request');

    });
});

NSLog output:

Somewhat stuck here and I'm not sure how to get any more logs about errors or what might be happening here...

99% sure it's because your socket isn't a property and is thus being released by ARC.

[heisian]

ah yes.. the n00bz...

iOS beginner here. If anyone can explain the solution, it will be really helpful.

@mayuroks If it's the same issue as this one, you should read up on ARC.
