App not receiving VOIP after x time on iOS 10.3 >

Question

I've got a project I'm working on which uses VOIP notifications to "wake up" apps that have been put into background/terminated. These notifications are sent periodically, and everything seemed to work fine until recent iOS updates.

It appears that after a certain amount of time in which the app has been in the background (happens to some users after 5 minutes, others after 20), the devices no longer process any code after receiving the voip notifications.

I've read a bit in apple dev forums and some other devs are running into similar issues, all speculate if its related to the new iOS updates (10.3.1/10.3.2).

Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, have you been able to solve it?

Thanks!

This is the new normal on latest iOS versions.

You should begin to use push notifications.

Here is a guide from Apple.

What ended up seeming to be the fix was updating to a newer version of socketio library.

You can try debugging your app in background or in kill state ( terminated state ), so you can get to know that payload from pushkit comes or not or possibly some crash at iOS code end.

Debug pushkit notification in terminated state

Put debug pointer on delegate methods
Go to edit scheme
Select run option then Launch -> Wait for executable to be launched
Send push kit payload from back end
Once you get payload on device
it will automatically invoke and debug pointer will invoke at delegate methods.
