title: Why does NSURLConnection fail to reach the backend?
body: <p>I'm developing an app, with a custom communications layer.
  My helper classes rely on NSURLConnection to handle communications with the backend.</p>
  
  <p>I'm experiencing a random bug, in which requests get sent, but the app gets no response back from our server. Plus, the timeout of NSURLConnection never gets triggered.</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore, when the app gets into this state, Mixpanel (a tracker framework) logs a connectivity error, as well as TestFlight.</p>
  
  <p>If you kill the app, and launch Safari, you're still able to reach google.com. </p>
  
  <p>For the time being, our app doesn't support Multitasking. Yet, we have discovered that TestFlight is forcing the app 'not-to-get-terminated'.</p>
  
  <p>Would it be possible that, due to this side effect of TF library, the app gets into an inconsistent state... in which any outgoing connection fails?.</p>
  
  <p>Did anyone get a problem like this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!!</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>As a side note, i'd like to add that the backend has been checked already (hosted on amazon) and everything seems to be just OK.</p>
  
  <p>=======</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>TestFlight fellows have just confirmed that this bug is caused by their library (i'm having it with TF 1.0 beta release).</p>
