Implementing Real-Time Communication in iOS with WebSockets

In iOS, WebSockets enable real-time communication between a client (an iOS app) and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP connections which are stateless, short-lived and request data on demand, WebSockets use a single long-lived connection to send and receive data simultaneously. This significantly reduces response times which is crucial for apps that rely on instant updates and live data to support functions such as chat and multiplayer games.
