GitHub user akravchukabto edited a discussion: XHR requests are canceled in cordova-ios after the screen is locked
Hi, in our cordova ios app there is a case, when user can save the using **xhr request**. In normal scenario when the Iphone screen is not locked after starting the save request - everything works fine. But when the screen gets locked right after starting save request - request fails with error - **Failed to load resource: The network connection was lost** I have made some research on this issue and found [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43505618/failed-to-load-resource-the-network-connection-was-lost-safari](url) It is said that **WKWebView has been "optimized" to not make network connections while screen is locked** As far as I understand cordova-ios is using **WKWebView** so it may inherit this limitation. 1. Can you, please, clarify if this is expected behaviour for xhr requests to be canceled when the screen is locked on ios devices? 2. Are there any workarounds to deal with this issue - I mean, user starts save request, locks the screen, and request is completed successfully? I have also tried using advanced http plugin [https://github.com/silkimen/cordova-plugin-advanced-http#readme](url) - the request is not canceled immediately, but when the time spent in background exceeds timeout - request is canceled by timeout. The issue is observed on IOS platform only Thank you for any help.
