Unsubscribed from channel, still on channel

A

2

I am using PubNub for an IOS app (IOS SDK 8.0). When I am trying to unsubscribe from a channel on "applicationDidEnterBackground" event, I get the following console output. It says the channel is unsubscribed, but when I check from admin console I am still on the channel. Can you give some advice on this ?

Here is the line I am using in "applicationDidEnterBackground":

PubNub.unsubscribeFromChannel(channelToReceive,{(list, err:PNError!)-> Void in
        if(err != nil){
            println(err.localizedFailureReason)
        } else {
            println("Unsubscribed...")
        }
    })

Here is the PubNub console output after "applicationDidEnterBackground" event:

Well, if your application can't run in background persistently, you can't call such commands when app transferring to background execution state. You can try to use this callback to perform few requests before PubNub client will be suspended along with your app:

- (void)pubnubClient:(PubNub *)client willSuspendWithBlock:(void(^)(void(^)(void(^)(void))))preSuspensionBlock {

    if ([client isConnected]) {

        preSuspensionBlock(^(void(^completionBlock)(void)){

            // Do last calls here
            // Always call this block as soon as required amount of tasks completed.
            completionBlock();
        }];
    });
  }
}

I have the exact same issue. I tried your code @moonlight but isConnected is FALSE so nothing really happens. – Automotive 3/12, 2014 at 21:36

Can you elaborate on your answer? I find that the willSuspendWithBlock doesn't get called before entering background but when coming back to foreground. It's really frustrating. Such a simple need to send a notification to a channel before going to background and I can't figure it out. Not really good for self estime :( – Automotive 20/1, 2015 at 21:47

You are still connected because pubnub didn't send any notification while in background. Even more tricky, it will send the queued notif when coming back to foreground.

In order to have Pubnub run in the background, you have to enable the appropriate background modes. One that needs websockets (pubnub also uses them) Select your project on the left and go to the Capabilities tab. In there you will find all the background modes you can enable. For Pubnub, I hear VOIP and and Location Updates will work.

I personally choose location updates. Keep in mind that Apple will reject your app if you don't use location services for actual location services. Being doing some research with Pubnub it's fine by me but when I'll deploy I might switch to HTTP request since they are allowed to run in the background.
