I am building an iphone app which uses MQTT_Client_Foundation(https://github.com/novastone-media/MQTT-Client-Framework)to subscribe and publish to topics on Adafruit.com. I have it working that it connects and looks for updates when the values are updated on the server and it publishes to the server when a button is tapped. My problem is that I want to get the current topic values on the server when I open the app without having to wait for then to be updated. This is the code I have now:
#import "ViewController.h"
#import <MQTTClient/MQTTClient.h>
@interface ViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *batteryValueLabel;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *tempValueLabel;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *temperatureValueLabel;

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *tripValueLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *dateValueLabel;
@property(nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSArray *certificates;
@property(nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton *Fill;
-(IBAction)Turnon:(id)sender;
@end

Does anyone know what code and where to put it so that when I open the app it gets the current topic value on the server without waiting for an update?
I got this to work Here is my code

Once connected to the server I subscribed to a topic and then when I was subscribed to that topic I published the /get method for it. I did this for each topic. and they all update with the last current value for each topic when I launch my app. I am going to try and see what happens when I come back for being in the background and maybe add a button to update (/get) all topics also.
Thanks for everyone's help.
