[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment
- Xcode version: 13.2.1
- Firebase SDK version: 8.15.0
- Installation method: CocoaPods
- Firebase Component: Database
- Target platform(s): macOS
[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem
Steps to reproduce: Have the mac going to sleep. After waking up, sometimes (with really low frequency), the Realtime Database client would stay offline indefinitely, even if network conditions are good.
We have an app that uses Realtime Database for implementing Presence in Firestore. https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/presence. If we have the app running and the mac goes to sleep, sometimes, after waking up, the Realtime Database client doesn't reconnect.
We have strong evidence that database.reference(withPath: ".info/connected").observe reported a false value while the mac was sleeping but it never reported true again, even after waking up and having good network conditions.
If we use any operation while Realtime database is offline, like statusReference.setValue to write to the database, the operation never runs the completion callback.
Firestore is able to reconnect properly without problems but Realtime Database client is not working properly.
We saw one case that recovered by itself after a some hours (12 hours after disconnected, 2 hours after the mac woke up). But as we need the Realtime Database to implement Presence, that delay is not acceptable.
Restarting the app makes it work again.
