NSStream and Sockets, NSStreamDelegate methods not being called

Question

I\'ve followed the guide Setting Up Socket Streams and have effectively duplicated that code in my class. No matter what I try the delegate methods just don\'t seem to get c

Answer 1

In the lines like this:

[inputStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];

Instead of using [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] I changed it to [NSRunLoop mainRunLoop].

EDIT 2011-05-30:

The reason this did not work is because I was setting up the sockets in a background thread via +[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:].

Doing it that way created a new run loop, which after reading the run loop developer documentation I discovered that you need to tell the NSRunLoop to run manually.

Running it in the same run loop as the main thread was fine on performance, though I was able to squeeze a bit more performance out by writing a wrapper class and running all network I/O on a background thread.
