How to stay connected to mqtt broker after I terminate my application (ios , Swift)

Question

I'm developing an app in swift using this source https://github.com/aciidb0mb3r/SwiftMQTT I want to add remote push notifications. I managed to do it with local notifications for example, when the app is running even if it's not in the foreground.

My question is how can i do it when the app isn't running. As i have seen when i close the app completed my broker say that i'm disconnected. Is there any way to stay connected forever?

Something like remote push notifications that wake's up the application even if its not running

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Finally I found out what it should be.

Hivemq (a mqtt broker) has a guide for developing a plugin with java, so that I did, I implemented push notification backend and with mysql connected clients and when the message comes I search offline clients with the topic of message and send only to them the push!

Thanks all for your help.
