Streaming Stops When App Moves to Background and Returns to Foreground (@ai-sdk/react)

[colaquecez]

Hey guys, I’m running into an issue with my React Native app. Whenever I start a streaming session and then minimize the app, the stream stops. When I reopen the app, it throws an error Error: fetch failed: The network connection was lost, even though I didn’t refresh or close it. This shouldn’t be happening—any ideas on how to fix it?

if you like we can close the issue and leave the discussion open? The folks in AI SDK team don't use React Native / Expo, so we won't be able to help unfortunately. Maybe you'll have more luck here

Hmmm, you can do whatever you prefer. It’s a bit strange that they don’t use RN/Expo, especially since they provided examples with Expo. It’s probably just a simple code change in the useChat lifecycle. I’ll double-check that later. Thanks so much, @gr2m!

I'm part of the AI SDK team 👋🏼 We do have examples it's just that we are not very familiar with it. If you find out anything please let us know. I'm also looking into creating a team for react-native/expo with interested folks from the community so we can better facilitate that y'all can help each other. Stay tuned on that

Hey, just sharing some feedback — it looks like this is actually an OS-level behavior. When the app moves to the background, the OS may(for me it is happening always) suspends the JS runtime after a short grace period. What’s odd is that back on Expo SDK 51/52, I didn’t run into this limitation. Anyway, that’s probably a separate topic lol.
