Disconnecting with server immediately after connecting - ios

Question

I have written a Singleton Class using GCDAsyncsocket Library to establish connection with any other device having same service using Bonjour.
On one device I am using its Method "startPublishing" to make it a Host(Server), from the Application on another Device(Client) I am calling "StartBrowsing" to find out the available Devices in Network. When user selects any of service in that Network I am calling method "initConnectionWithService", that initiate Connection flow by resolving address of NetService to connect.

But, On execution of above things very unexpected things happending, Device which is acting as Client is getting callback in didConnectedToHost and immediatly, another Callback is coming that is in didDisconnected

Answer 1

Comment of Paulw11 Helped me to find out the Solution. Actually I stored Socket on client side, but forgot to Store reference of new Socket getting in callback method "didAcceptNewSocket".
So the Method didAcceptNewSocket should be as below:
-(void)socket:(GCDAsyncSocket *)sock didAcceptNewSocket:(GCDAsyncSocket *)newSocket{
NSLog(#"Accepted new Socket: HOST : %# , CONNECTION PORT :%li",newSocket.connectedHost,(long)newSocket.connectedPort);
socketConnected = newSocket;
}
So that newSocket received in this method can be persist for further communication. In earlier case it was releasing at end of method.
