Answer 1

On top of all the answers i found one nice solution. Actually The issue related to network connection fail for iOS 12 onword is because there is a bug in the iOS 12.0 onword. And it Yet to resolved. I had gone through the git hub community for AFNetworking related issue when app came from background and tries to do network call and fails on connection establish. I spend 3 days on this and tries many things to get to the root cause for this and found nothing. Finally i got some light in the dark when i red this blog https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/issues/4279

It is saying that there is a bug in the iOS 12. Basically you cannot expect a network call to ever complete if the app os not in foreground. And due to this bug the network calls get dropped and we get network fails in logs.

My best suggestion to you is provide some delay when your app are coming from background to foreground and there is network call. Make that network call in the dispatch async with some delay. You'll never get network call drop or connection loss.

Do not wait for Apple to let this issue solve for iOS 12 as its still yet to fix. You may go with this workaround by providing some delay for your network request being its NSURLConnection, NSURLSession or AFNetworking or ALAMOFIRE. Cheers :)
