I’m starting a new 3 part series over 2 weeks on building a reusable Network Manager in Swift using async await, URLSession, generics, and better JSON decoding diagnostics. A solid foundation you can reuse in real apps. Next video drops Wednesday.

I gave URLSession "url" instead of "urlRequest"
I checked EVERYTHING AROUND IT but somehow didn't think to check that one line. so this whole time, I was preparing a URLRequest with the Authorization field and all that and just not using it.
2. fucking. months.

AsyncImage got some useful improvements in iOS 27. We can now pass a URLRequest for per-image headers, caching, and timeout control, and provide a custom URLSession for image loading across a SwiftUI view hierarchy.

AsyncImage receives a performance improvement by introducing caching. You can even control the cache by configuring a custom URLSession with a specific cache size. #swiftui #wwdc26

Users always want more. With a background URLSession, we give them more by extending downloads and uploads beyond the app's lifespan. In this post I take advantage of a background session to download adorable cat photos 😸.

You can access .lines directly on a URL to stream remote text data line by line. No URLSession boilerplate required, and it works beautifully for CSV parsing, real-time data, and simple text fetching. www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/241...
My favorite new Swift API from iOS 15
AsyncSequence and effectful read-only properties combine to make something beautiful.

I never found a Swift network lib that’s both simple and scalable.
URLSession is too low-level. Macro-based libs are clever but rigid. Others doesn’t scale.
So I built NetworkKit a declarative, flexible, open-source package.

Small but interesting thing in macOS 26 beta 6.
> For apps linked on or after iOS 26 and macOS 26, the default minimum TLS version of URLSession and Network frameworks has changed from 1.0 to 1.2.
App Developers have a knob to put it back to 1.0, but nice to see the default is 1.2.

ApiKit 1.0 is out! 🚀 This is a Swift SDK that aims at making it super simple to integrate with any REST API, using the standard URLSession. I hope you'll enjoy using it, and would love to hear what you think!

So happy I moved here. I had missed the iOS community and being alerted to random pieces of useful new (to me) API. Filing this away for future reference. Nice that it can be part of URLSession.
iOS App Attestation (DeviceCheck) is so cool. So many possibilities!
Not bullet proof but definitely a great tool for the tool belt.

URLSession with async await - Wesley de Groot
Modern Swift makes network requests easier to read with async and await. URLSession provides asynchronous methods that return data and a response without completion handlers. Creating a Network Model The response model should conform to Decodable: struct Todo: Decodable, Identifiable { let id: Int let title: String let completed: Bool } Fetching Data Create a request, validate the response, and decode ...

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?

Mastodon iOS devs confirmed the URL session bug in Xcode 16.3 simulator. Using ephemeral on URLSession instead of shared is the work around. Doesn’t impact code on devices, just simulator. Now to update slides!
