Is it possible to use html5 web sockets in mobile safari to communicate with another app on the same device? Basically, I’d like to build a socket server in a custom app and have my javascript on a page in mobile safari send messages to it via html web sockets. I have very little experience with sockets and just thought I’d throw this idea out there.
No — there is no background mode which will allow a native iOS application to “legally” keep a socket server running. The only three modes which can fully run in the background are “audio”, “VoIP”, and “location”, and your application probably wouldn’t fall into any of these categories.
