titanium iOS app for adhoc distribution stuck on splash screen

I'm running a titanium iOS application, it works as expected on the simulator and also on the device when I run it from appcelerator studio, however when I package the app for adhoc distribution and install it on my iPhone device via iTunes it just gets stuck on the splash screen.
Also I can not debug because it is adhoc distribution. The only thing I noticed using alerts is that it runs through alloy.js but never gets to index.js
Any help would be appreciated.
edit: these are my index and alloy files.

I had to test step by step, block by block and line by line using a single alert at a time to find out what part of the code was causing the application to crash.
I did find out that 2 separate files were calling each other like require("file2") in file 1 and require("file1") in file 2. Although I don't know why this problem/bug/whatever happened only in distribution ad-hoc mode and not when running the app directly from the computer.

Ratchet Websockets - Detect disconnected clients

I'm designing a chatroom in ratchet websockets to be as responsive as possible.
It knows when a user leaves the page, and everything like that.
But if a user/client for example loses its connection with the server, the issue is the client cant let the server know it has disconnected, because it has already disconnected and cant send the server a message. So how do I track when a chat client has lost their internet connection and is no longer online?
Two possible solutions I can think of:
server polls the clients once every 15 mins to half hour to check to see who is online. Clients who do not respond get disconnected. Is this possible to do without interrupting everything else going on in php? if so how? and where do I put the code? I saw something about addPeriodicTimer() from LoopInterface but im not sure if that would do the job or where the function would fit into my code.
Also does it call sleep() function because that would not be good. I still want other tasks happening in the background while this function is on a timer (if possible in php)
onClose() method in php
Can this detect when a user has really disconnected in every circumstance? If so, when this event fires off, how can I find out which user was disconnected? it only passes a ConnectionInterface and no message.
Sorry, im still new to the ratchet library and still trying to work out how to achieve this task.
my code for server.php:
<?php
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/var/www/html/vendor/autoload.php');
use Ratchet\Server\IoServer;
use Ratchet\Http\HttpServer;
use Ratchet\WebSocket\WsServer;
$server = IoServer::factory(new HttpServer(new WsServer(new Chat)), 8080);
$server->run();
?>
code for app.js
// JavaScript Document
var chat = document.getElementById("chatwindow");
var msg = document.getElementById("messagebox");
var refInterval = 0;
var timeup = false;
var awaytimer;
var socket = new WebSocket("ws://52.39.48.172:8080");
var openn = false;
function addMessage(msg){
"use strict";
chat.innerHTML += "<p>" + msg + "</p>";
}
msg.addEventListener('keypress', function(evt){
"use strict";
if(evt.charCode != 13)
return;
evt.preventDefault();
if(msg.value == "" || !openn)
return;
socket.send(JSON.stringify({
msg: msg.value,
uname: nme,

}));
msg.value = "";
});
socket.onopen = function(evt) {
openn = true;
socket.send(JSON.stringify({

}));
};
socket.onmessage = function(evt) {
var data = JSON.parse(evt.data);
if(data.tag == "[connected]")
{
addMessage(data.uname + " has connected...");
}
else if(data.tag == "[bye]")
{
addMessage(data.uname + " has left the room...");
if(data.uname == nme)
socket.close();
}
else if(data.tag == "[msgsend]")
{
addMessage(data.uname + ": " + data.msg);
}
};
window.onfocus = refPage;
function refPage()

}
}
else
{

}

}
window.onblur = timelyExit;
function timelyExit()
{

// change this to trigger some kind of inactivity timer
awaytimer = setTimeout(function(){socket.send(JSON.stringify({

//cant send server this message because already closed.

Edit: just tested and confirmed onClose() method doesnt fire when internet connection is terminated.
is there a way i can still go about the first solution?

This best solution for detecting disconnected clients would be event based and does not poll the clients at all. This approach would be your second solution, and also models itself nicely around the asynchronous nature of WebSocket message passing.
It is however possible as you state that some naughty clients in certain cases may not notify the socket server of their disconnection and leave it 'hanging', so to speak. In this case, I would suggest to not try to implement the polling trigger within the Socket Server itself and instead initiate the polling via a separate, server-side client that is triggered via cron or other task scheduler and instructs the socket server to initiate a request to poll all connected clients.
For more information on constructing server-side clients, see this question of mine for which I was also able to find some solutions.
In order to determine who sent the disconnect message, I would suggest going away from using just SplObjectStorage inside of the Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface implementation you have and instead wrap a simple array inside of another class, so something like this:
class MyClientList
{
protected $clients = [];
public function addClient(Connection $conn)
{
$this->clients[$conn->resourceId] = [
'connection' => $conn,
];
return $this;
}
public function removeClient(Connection $conn)
{
if(isset($this->clients[$conn->resourceId])) {
unset($this->clients[$conn->resourceId]);
}
return $this;
}
public function registerClient(ConnectionInterface $conn, array $userData)
{
if(isset($this->clients[$conn->resourceId])) {
$this->clients[$conn->resourceId] = array_merge(
$this->clients[$conn->resourceId],
$userData
);
}
return $this;
}
public function getClientData(ConnectionInterface $conn)
{
return isset($this->clients[$conn->resourceId]) ?
$this->clients[$conn->resourceId] :
null
;
}
}
At some point shortly after a user first connects, your client should send a socket message to the server and instruct the server to now register the identity of the client with additional information (in your case you are attempting to identify a uname and uid properties). By indexing against the connection id, you should be able to use this implementation to divine the identity of all messages originating from clients after they have sent in the initial registration message.

Websocket send message to all clients

Hello i want to send message to all connected client but my code dont work (for one user its good)
require_once('websockets.php');
$userConnected = array();
class echoServer extends WebSocketServer {
protected function process ($user, $exec) {
foreach($userConnected as $u) {
$this->send($u,'test');
}
}
protected function connected ($user) {
array_push($userConnected, $user);
}
protected function closed ($user) {
if(($key = array_search($user, $userConnected)) !== false) {
unset($userConnected[$key]);
}
}
}

How to update data using real-time (SignalR)

I am writing to seek help, in regards creating a real-time data update using SignalR. I am currently having issue on the client-side, where I am unable to render the data content.
I have a tested the query command and it seems to be returning data. This leads me to believe, that my client-side code, maybe incorrect.

$(function () {
// Declare a proxy to reference the hub.
var notifications = $.connection.NotificationHub;
// Create a function that the hub can call to broadcast messages.
notifications.client.recieveNotification = function (role, descrip) {
// Add the message to the page.
$('#spanNewMessages').text(role);
$('#spanNewCircles').text(descrip);
};
// Start the connection.
$.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
notifications.server.sendNotifications(function () {
alert("does it work");
});
}).fail(function (e) {
alert(e);
});

Could anyone, please provide some assistant, to where I may be going wrong with this task. Thank you.

I mocked up your app. Your issue was you are returning a string from your hub action:
public string SendNotifications()
{
return context.Clients.All.RecieveNotification(role, descrip);
}
this should be void (you aren't returning anything, but actually calling the clients), and you also don't need to use GlobalHost to get the context here, only when the context isn't available (I.E. calling the hub from the server). Try making these changes:
[HubMethodName("sendNotifications")]
public void SendNotifications()
{
//using...
//IHubContext context = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<notificationHub>();
//return context.Clients.All.RecieveNotification(role, descrip);
Clients.All.RecieveNotification(role, descrip);
}
Put a breakpoint at Clients.All... and see if it is being triggered. Let me know if these updates fix your issue.

Error: origin_mismatch when using Google calendar API with port 444

I am getting an error origin_mismatch message when I try to use the Google Calendar API through another site that uses a different port.
The code doesn't return an error when the API request is sent from http://original.domain.edu.
However, the code returns the above title error when the API request is sent from https://original.domain.edu:444 (which is the secure login port that the app uses).
I've added both https://original.domain.edu:444 and https://original.domain.edu to my OAuth client in my API console but the same error is still occurring. Can someone offer some help on this?
var exportCalendarToGoogle = function() {
var clientId = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
var scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar';
var apiKey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
var withGApi = function() {
console.log("gapi loaded");
setTimeout(function() {
gapi.client.setApiKey(apiKey);
gapi.auth.init(checkAuth);
}, 500);
}
var checkAuth = function() {
gapi.auth.authorize({client_id: clientId, scope: scope, immediate: false}, handleAuthResult);
}
var handleAuthResult = function(authResult) {
if(authResult) {
gapi.client.load("calendar", "v3", exportCalendar);
} else {
alert("Authentication failed: please enter correct login information.");
}
}
...

You need a server side file to act as a proxy/bridge to get around JS Origin issues.
eg: var scope = "https://original.domain.edu:444/proxy.php";
<?php
//proxy.php file
echo file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar?' . http_build_query($_GET) );
?>
