Socket IO not getting connected to server using swift

Question

I've downloaded a sample socket project from github https://github.com/appcoda/SocketIOChat

I'm using EICapitan and I've installed node js and I've also setup the IP in the sample var socket: SocketIOClient = SocketIOClient(socketURL: NSURL(string: "http://192.168.1.2:3000")!) When I run node index.js command on terminal it shows Listening on *:3000 But when I run the sample app enter a name to connect user I dont receive any message like user connected. Is there something that I'm missing, I'm a beginner to node.js and socket.io. Any help is appreciated.

Its the same file mentioned in the above link in the srv-SocketChat.zip, no changes were made to it. — Francis F, Mar 20 '16 at 07:03
Wow, that seems to be working, according to the guidelines I thought we had to put our IP address, isn't it? — Francis F, Mar 20 '16 at 07:33
@Garelegend in general we should put IP address. Since you are using localhost there is no need to place IP address in it but when your app would be located at remote server you should use ip address of that server — Yaroslav Tkachenko, Mar 20 '16 at 07:39

Seems like you are trying connect to incorrect ip address. Get your inet ip from ifconfig and place it to SocketIOClient. I would recommend you to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 for development instead of inet address
