How to connect to Socket.IO swift? - swift

Question

I am having trouble connecting to Socket.IO chat..
import UIKit
import SocketIO
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let manager = SocketManager(socketURL: URL(string: "wss://socket-io-chat.now.sh/socket.io/")!, config: [.log(true), .compress])
let socket = manager.defaultSocket
socket.on(clientEvent: .connect) {data, ack in
print("socket connected")
}
socket.on("new message") {data, ack in
print("new Messages")
}
socket.connect()
}
}
I am using the latest socket.io library and already added app transport in info.plist.
here's what the logs says..

try the below code:
var socketClient: SocketIOClient!
if let url = URL(string: "wss://socket-io-chat.now.sh/socket.io/") {
let socketClient = SocketIOClient(socketURL: url, config: [.log(true),.forcePolling(true)])
socketClient.connect()
}
socketClient.onAny { (socEvent) in
if let status = socEvent.items as? [SocketIO.SocketIOClientStatus] {
if let first = status.first {
switch first {
case .connected:
print("Socket: connected")
break
case .disconnected:
print("Socket: disconnected")
break
case .notConnected:
print("Socket: notConnected")
break
case .connecting:
print("Socket: connecting")
break
}
}
}
}
