在我们的 iPhone 应用程序中,我一直遇到 NSURLConnection 请求超时的间歇性问题。它似乎发生得越来越晚。一旦它进入这个状态,它就停留在那个状态。唯一的解决方案似乎是杀死应用程序并重新启动它。
观察:
- 执行 NSURLConnection 的核心代码没有改变(除了最近添加的一些自定义用户代理代码)。
- 尚未找到可重现的案例,但应用程序在后台运行一段时间后似乎会发生超时,特别是在 3G(无 WiFi)上运行时。
- 服务器上的 Apache 在遇到这些超时时没有记录来自客户端的请求。
- 一些迹象表明其他应用程序,如 Mail 和 Safari 受到影响(即,遇到超时),但并非始终如一。
- 3G 覆盖在我所在的地方是可靠的,不排除触发问题的暂时性问题(假设不太可能)。
- 所有请求都发送到我们自己的 API 服务器,并且是 POST 请求。
- 由于 timeoutInterval 和 POST 请求的问题,我们使用自己的基于 NSTimer 的超时。我试过增加超时值——问题仍然存在。
其他杂项:
- 应用程序最近转换为 ARC。
- 在 iOS 5.1.1 下运行应用程序。
- 应用程序使用最新版本的 UrbanAirship、TestFlight 和 Flurry SDK。
- 还使用 TouchXML 的 ARC 分支来解析响应。
如下所示,代码在主线程上运行。我假设该线程上有东西阻塞,但我在挂起应用程序时看到的堆栈跟踪表明主线程很好。我认为 NSURLConnection 正在使用它自己的线程并且必须被阻止。

下面的 URL 是应用程序处于问题状态时的队列/线程的一些屏幕截图。请注意,我相信线程 10 与前一次超时执行的取消有关,尽管互斥等待很奇怪。此外,线程 22 中有关 Flurry 的位在其他情况下遇到问题时不会始终出现。

也许我忽略了这些痕迹中明显错误的东西,因为我对 iOS/Apple 开发相对较新。
如果我有 NSURLConnection 和相关代码的源代码,那么解决所有这些问题会简单得多,但就目前而言,我是在黑暗中摸索。
