Build, review, or improve networking code in iOS/macOS apps using URLSession with async/await, structured concurrency, and modern Swift patterns. Use when working with REST APIs, downloading files, uploading data, WebSocket connections, pagination, retry logic, request middleware, caching, background transfers, or network reachability monitoring. Also use when handling HTTP requests, API clients, network error handling, or data fetching in Swift apps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# iOS Networking
Modern networking patterns for iOS 26+ using URLSession with async/await and
structured concurrency. All examples target Swift 6.3. No third-party
dependencies required -- URLSession covers the vast majority of networking
needs.
## Contents
- [Core URLSession async/await](#core-urlsession-asyncawait)
- [API Client Architecture](#api-client-architecture)
- [Error Handling](#error-handling)
- [Pagination](#pagination)
- [Network Reachability](#network-reachability)
- [Configuring URLSession](#configuring-urlsession)
- [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes)
- [Review Checklist](#review-checklist)
- [References](#references)
## Core URLSession async/await
URLSession gained native async/await overloads in iOS 15. These are the
only networking APIs to use in new code. Never use completion-handler
variants in new projects.
### Data Requests
```swift
// Basic GET
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
// With a configured URLRequest
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpBody = try JSONEncoder().encode(payload)

How to install
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/ios-networking@sha256:5bda569ed0204380The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260329.893209f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
