#AFNetworking
How is it that in 2025 the Keychain API is so clunky to use from Swift (or even Objective-C)? Is it like AFNetworking before URLSession where everyone just uses a library?

Apple usually launches something. Have the community create 3rd party solutions. All Apple will have to do is sherlock the best one.

For example:
RxSwift became Combine.
AFNetworking became NSURLSession.

And as soon as I get some time to do so, I'll be transferring my modified repo to @bric.digital with a small blog post explaining that our long national AFNetworking nightmare is now over.

It's great having a non-profit around that is expressly charged with doing good public deeds like this.

Yeah, I might have had a glimmer. Obviously you can Google, but I think this post has some of the shortcuts. It's pretty straightforward? And then you just use a background task? orjpap.github.io/swift/http/i... (AFNetworking was absolutely necessary in days of NSURLConnection, but I think...

@mattt Just curious, why is baseURL readonly and NSParameterAssert-ed in @AFNetworking. What about a case where I want to switch to staging?

@AFNetworking makes sense. Thanks.

Welp, SDWebImage is pretty sweet. Very responsive cache, albeit biased. No looking back to UIImageView+AFNetworking

Figured out a way to get around Apple's dumb guardrails to get the app accepted. Ended up forking the AFNetworking repository, added the privacy manifest to the forked repository, and pointed CocoaPods at the new repo, and built and resubmitted it.

A lot of make-work, but it removes a blocker.

Note that NONE of the libraries cited use the restricted APIs that would require a privacy manifest.

Provide Privacy Manifest support for AFNetworking · Issue #3809 · Alamofire/Alamofire
I'm sorry for making this request. But as you know, some Object-C projects still use AFNetworking in their projects. Because AFNetworking has been archived, I can only contact you here. If possible...

Oh yeah, Xcode 26.4.1-ben privát lett a netinet6/in6.h, ami miatt az AFNetworking nem fordul többé, amiből az új verzió az Alamofire, ami meg már swift only. Tehát Objective C-ben nincs többé új Xcode-dal AFNetworking sehogy

I think in hindsight it’s obvious @mattt made a mistake calling it AFNetworking instead of NetworkAF.

A new AI review! gimenete/iOS-boilerplate ⭐2.4/5.0
This repository is a classic (circa 2011–2012) Objective‑C iOS “starter template” that bundles common app scaffolding and several third‑party components (notably an early AFNetworking and SVProgressHUD).

I haven't updated the macOS version of Shukofukurou that it won't build anymore and one of the libraries won't compile since it can’t see the AFNetworking framework that is already linked to the framework project...

Yep, XCode is a mess... but it compiles on the iOS side.
