Hello, I don't know where the event listener.

At the moment I didn’t implement the internal event loop to query the external node for new blocks and events. The library is primary for mobile devices without 100% uptime and limited connectivity.

There are examples in tests how to get the contract events (functions like “getIndexedEvents”) and you can manually setup an event loop in your app that every 10 seconds check if a new block was produced and tries to get events for specific contract in this specific block.

Sincerely, Alex

thanks. I also solved this by setup an event loop before.

Glad to hear that, @BlueFlicker !
This kind of event listener could be a nice feature for the web3swift utils section.
I think it's a typical usecase
Feel free to add it with Pull Request. Would be much appreciated!
