Hope this still relevant, if not, hopefully it will help others. There are some issues with your code:

1. I don't see the call to connect, you should add something like this:

   NSError *error = nil;
   if (![_xmppStream connectWithTimeout:XMPPStreamTimeoutNone error:&error]) { 
       UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error connecting"
                                                           message:@"Msg"
                                                          delegate:nil
                                                 cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
                                                 otherButtonTitles:nil];
       [alertView show];       
   }
   

2. Most of the XMPP API is asynchronous.
   You have to set the stream delegate in order to receive events. Check out XMPPStreamDelegate and XMPPStream#addDelegate

If you don't want to go through the code yourself XMPPStream.h , you can implement all methods of XMPPStreamDelegate and log the events. This will help you understand how the framework works.

Hope this helps, Yaron

A host of possibilities.

Try adding break points at xmppStreamDidConnect and xmppStreamDidAuthenticate.

If xmppStreamDidConnect isn't reached, the connection is not established; you've to rectify your hostName.

If xmppStreamDidAuthenticate isn't reached, the user is not authenticated; you've to rectify your credentials i.e. username and/or password.

One common mistake is omitting of @domainname at the back of username i.e. username@domainname e.g. keithoys@openfireserver where domain name is openfireserver.
