ServerSockect breaks on deactivate/suspend?
Building an iOS app using FlashBuilder 4.7 and Apache Flex 4.11.
Using ServerSocket to make an in-app HTTP server so I can use
StageWebView to view HTML5/Javascript content that's built into
the app. Works great until I hit the screen lock button on the iPad.
After that point my ServerSocket stops working.
On Event.ACTIVATE, I can create a new ServerSocket on a different
port, and that works. But the previous ServerSocket won't, nor can
I destroy it and start a new one on the SAME port (which is really
what I need to do).
Thoughts? Questions? thanks.

AIR 3.3 onwards, action script developers can execute short task in
the background along with audio playback and location updates on iOS. In
order to execute task in background, you would need to set
1) NativeApplication.nativeApplication.executeInBackground = true (in action script)
2) swf version should be 16 or more
3) namespace should be 3.3 or more (in application descriptor)

on deeper research i found this:
There's a Technical Note on this: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2277/_index.html
In my app, in the App Delegate:
on applicationDidEnterBackground: I stop the HTTP serveron applicationWillEnterForeground: I start the HTTP serverThis makes the server usable after someone hits the lock screen.
see if you have these events exposed in the AIR framework. I bet you can work around this issue if they are.

My initial reaction is that this should stay working in the background... however it may have something to do with the "suspend" state that iOS applies to an app when locking the device.
https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaHTTPServer/issues/10
this appears to be an issue with the native socket implementation. Perhaps the fork of this project can be used to hack some fix into the ServerSocket flex class...

Building an iOS app using FlashBuilder 4.7 and Apache Flex 4.11.
Using ServerSocket to make an in-app HTTP server so I can use StageWebView to view HTML5/Javascript content that's built into the app. Works great until I hit the screen lock button on the iPad.
After that point my ServerSocket stops working.
On Event.ACTIVATE, I can create a new ServerSocket on a different port, and that works. But the previous ServerSocket won't, nor can I destroy it and start a new one on the SAME port (which is really what I need to do).
Thoughts? Questions? thanks.
