iOS Networking Standards

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

URLSession (Native)

  • Tasks: Use dataTaskPublisher (Combine) or data(for:delegate:) (async/await).
  • Configuration: Use URLSessionConfiguration.default for standard tasks and ephemeral for private browsing/clearing cache.
  • Request Building: Use URLComponents and URLQueryItem to build URLs safely. Never use string interpolation for parameters.

Alamofire (Standard Third-Party)

  • Session: Maintain a singleton or DI-injected Session instance.
  • Request: Use .validate() to automatically check for 200..299 status codes.
  • Encoding: Use JSONParameterEncoder.default for body parameters.

Best Practices

  • Codable: Use Codable for JSON mapping. Prefer snake_case to camelCase decoding strategies if the API follows snake_case.
  • Retriers & Adapters: Use RequestInterceptor for adding Auth headers (Bearer) and handling token refresh (401).
  • SSL Pinning: Implement using ServerTrustManager for production security.

Anti-Patterns

  • Main Thread completion: **No UI updates in background task**: Always jump to Main thread/MainActor.
  • Raw Mapping: **No manual JSONSerialization**: Use Codable.
  • Missing Timeout: **No indefinite wait**: Always set a reasonable timeoutInterval (e.g., 30s).
