Your struct file allows only for FM structure. An AFM cell must be enlarged.
Anyway, using your struct file with U=0.3 Ry I get a gap of 0.5 eV. However, when relaxing the O position, the gap more or less vanishes.

Convergence in the insulating state is ok (MMT=3.0), in the metallic cases it is a bit sloppy. Keep going, it is not unusual that you need 80 or more cycles for a difficult magnetic structure.
But finally, you should consider the AFM structure.

Dear Sir,

         I am sending a PRB paper in which magnetic orderings of LiNiO2 has been given. The link of the paper is  DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.144412.   It is A-type antiferromagnet.
Also, at cycle no.68, it first show the appearance of 0.005 for CC in LiNiO2

with regards,

    LiNiO2 is a well studied material. Did you research the magnetic
    ordering found by others?

            Dear Wien2k users,

                                      With replacing Ni by Mn I can
            achieve convergence by using an unoptimized struct file &
            considering only GGA+U. Does it mean that Ni in LiNiO2 has
            some issues with convergence?

            i'm looking forward to listening from you.

                    Dear Wien2k users & Prof. Marks,

                    Following your advice, I have set up the magnetic
                    order by creating FM ordering in the intralplane Ni
                    atoms while AFM ordering between interplane Ni
                    atoms. I have done the followings;
                    1. 2x1x1 of R3m (166) LiNiO2 cell
                    2. It produces 12 atom cell. After X sgroup code
                    instructed to choose settings P3m1 (156) & I have
                    accepted it.
                    3. I have verified by simulating the XRD of R3m cell
                    & P3m1 cell, that both are giving same XRD using Vesta
                    4. I have used runsp_lapw -orb -nlvdw  -ec 0.0001
                    -cc 0.0001 to include both GGA+U & nlvdw
                    5 . For the last 10 iterations the DIS are
