Hello, do subscriptions work in multiplatform environment? Especially on iOS? Is there any public GQL server that supports subscription to test that out?

[mbonnin]

Subscriptions are working on iOS.
Public servers are rare. I don't know why most of the times subscriptions are behind authentication, I'm guessing cost reasons.
The Android tutorial has a section about subscriptions that use a test server: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/kotlin/tutorial/11-subscriptions/

It's for Android but the same code should work for iOS

thx a lot, I’ll look at it.

query works in sandbox but subscription don’t 😞

[mbonnin]

Mind opening an issue at https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-tutorial ?

[mbonnin]

I'm guessing this is a sandbox issue, not a server issue

[rudolf.hladik]

sure

[mbonnin]

I somehow managed to make it work using https://apollo-fullstack-tutorial.herokuapp.com/graphql as endpoint (with the final graphql )

[mbonnin]

I'll follow up internally to see what the issue is

[rudolf.hladik]

that works for me too. Btw the issue is https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-tutorial/issues/255

just fyi that I've recently deployed graphql backend that supports subscriptions in case it's of use - https://peopleinspace-graphql-guhrsfr7ka-uc.a.run.app/playground

you can use likes of following (will update every 10s with latest position of ISS space station)

subscription {
  issPosition {
    latitude
    longitude
  }
}
