How to send auth parameters ?

[romaHerman]

Our server want to read parameter like this

      EIO: '4',
      transport: 'polling',
      t: 'NmJJKTk'
    },
    auth: {
      public: '<>',
      access: '<>',
      timestamp: <>
    }```

In android socket io client there is parameter Auth 
But I can't find one on iOS 

and solution from other similar questions doesn't work for me
(that solution won't event compile) 
other options with payload also didn't work somehow 

I'm using latest  client 

Can anyone help me please ?

I've eventually figured this out so answering my own question:

this is working code:

  chatSocketManager = SocketManager(socketURL: socketURL, config: [.log(true), .compress])             
 chatSocketManager.defaultSocket.on(clientEvent: .connect) {data, ack in
            print("socket connected")
           self.chatSocketManager.defaultSocket.joinNamespace()
        }
 let dict =  [ "access" : accessToken,
                         "public": publicToken,
                         "timestamp" : "\(timeStamp)"]
chatSocketManager.defaultSocket.connect(withPayload: dict)

withPayload automatically wraps dict into auth:dict

do use the latest Socket pod version? After I updated pods and Xcode to version 13 I dont have: connect(withPayload: ..) anymore ? Do you have that issue

Hi @Ant-Adis here is my pod file lock :

• Socket.IO-Client-Swift (16.0.1):
  • Starscream (~> 4.0)

Could you post code you're trying to compile ?

[Ant-Adis]

@romaHerman I had to revert pod installs and currently Im using Socket IO through Package Dependencies, version: 16.0.1 next major, with this I dont have any issues

@romaHerman withPayload automatically wraps dict into auth:dict -> Could you please let me know where you found this information? I checked the code and couldn't find any code that wraps the dictionary into an "auth" key. Thank you! 🙇‍♂️

[romaHerman]

Hey @kbw2204 I haven't that was trial and error process when I was trying different options and the backend team was telling me what they have on their end since Starscream library is used under the hood for sockets maybe it's somewhere there. I don't know

[kbw2204]

Ah, I see. I can check with the backend team to confirm. Thank you for your response! 🙇‍♂️
