Hello, all, I'm new to iOS development and working on a project with the following setup: Architecture: Windows PC running Ubuntu (WSL) hosting a WebSocket Server with self-signed SSL Python GUI application as a client to control iOS app iOS app as another client on physical iPhone Server running on wss://***.***.***.1:8001 (this is the mobile hotspot IP from Windows PC which the iPhone is needed to connect to as well) Current Status: ✓ Server successfully created and running ✓ Python GUI connects and functions properly ✓ iOS app initially connects and communicates for 30 seconds ✗ iOS connection times out after 30 seconds ✗ Map updates from GUI don't sync to iOS app Error Message in Xcode terminal: WebSocket: Received text message 2024-11-25 15:49:03.678384-0800 iVEERS[1465:454666] Task <CD21B8AD-86D9-4984-8C48-8665CD069CC6>.<1> finished with error [-1001] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2103, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalWebSocketTask <CD21B8AD-86D9-4984-8C48-8665CD069CC6>.<1>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=( "LocalWebSocketTask <CD21B8AD-86D9-4984-8C48-8665CD069CC6>.<1>" ), NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=wss://***.***.***.1:8001/, NSErrorFailingURLKey=wss://***.***.***.1:8001/, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4} Technical Details: Using iOS built-in URLSessionWebSocketTask for WebSocket connection Self-signed SSL certificate Transport security settings configured in Info.plist Map updates use base64 encoded PNG data Questions: What's causing the timeout after 30 seconds? How can I maintain a persistent WebSocket connection? Why aren't map updates propagating to the iOS client? Any guidance/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if additional code snippets would help on what I currently have.
