      Workaround: WebRTC publishing and playback fails with Safari on iOS 15

      Publishing or playing a WebRTC stream using Safari on iOS 15 fails. 

      With the Wowza Streaming Engine WebRTC test pages, you get the following error message:

      WebSocket connection to ‘wss://[address]:443/webrtc-session.json’ failed. The operation could not be completed. Socket is not connected.

      Solution:

      There is no fix available at this time. For playback, as a workaround, you can complete the following steps from your iOS 15 device:

      1. Open the Settings application.
      2. Tap Safari, then Advanced, and then Experimental Features.
      3. Disable the NSURLSession WebSocket feature.
