Server Restarts on iOS as soon as you switch to another App

Server restarts if you switch to another app briefly (like imessage) or even accidentally press the home button. Didn't used to do this and it's really annoying because it kicks everyone off if you go to respond to a message or anything for a second.

I think this is not a bug,the reason could be that mcpe uses a lot of RAM, and when you switch to another app, the CPU needs to have free RAM space to run that app, so, i deletes mcpe from the RAM.

I don't believe the cause is iOS. In that case MCPE starts from the home screen as though you've just launched the App. You can test for yourself, especially if you have an older device with 512mb RAM. Otherwise you'll have to launch another RAM heavy App straight after MCPE. You'll see MCPE will start back from the home screen when the iOS has cleared it from RAM.

In this case you return straight back into the hosted world, but get a message Server Restarted. And it happens even on an freshly rebooted iPhone 6s when all you launch is MCPE and go to home screen and back.

@luisrobles Judging from the description, I would say that the reported issue here appears to be that one person going AFK crashes the server, not the device.

In the description there is nothing about a crash. It just says that server restarts when switching to another app. Also, about what i said before was what i thought.

Sorry if its not clear. MCPE doesnt crash and iOS doesnt clear it.

The server just stops and disconnects everyone if you switch away from the app. It didn't used to do this before 0.14 which was better. Now if I'm running a server and get a message people who are connected get disconnected if I go to answer the message.

This is a specific case of the more general bug that context switching out of the server disconnects all clients unless the server is run on win10 in window mode. Affects Android and iOS too. Please vote for the parent ticket MCPE-13342.
