Disconnect from TapTalk.io server

You can disconnect from TapTalk.io when the user no longer needs to receive messages from an online state. But the user can still receive push notifications for new messages when the app is closed.

When the user is disconnected from the server, all event delegates will stop receiving event callbacks from the server.

Objective-C

#import <TapTalk/TapTalk.h>

[[TapTalk sharedInstance] disconnectWithCompletionHandler:^{
    // Success disconnected from TapTalk.io server.
}];

Objective-C

#import <TapTalk/TapTalk.h>

BOOL isConnected = [[TapTalk sharedInstance] isConnected];
