Can I use these patterns for WebSocket connections?

Yes, the skill covers WebSocket connections and data streaming using AsyncBytes for real-time communication.

Does this skill require third-party libraries like Alamofire?

No, this skill focuses exclusively on native URLSession and Apple frameworks, promoting a modern, dependency-free approach to iOS networking.

Is it suitable for handling large file downloads?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for using download tasks that stream directly to disk to minimize memory footprint.

How does it handle authentication and token refresh?

The skill provides patterns for request middleware and interceptors that can catch 401 errors, refresh tokens, and retry requests automatically.

What version of Swift does this networking skill target?

It is optimized for Swift 6.3 and uses the latest concurrency features like Sendable protocols and structured task groups.

Mobile Development

Implements modern iOS networking patterns using Swift 6.3, URLSession, and structured concurrency for robust API integration.

This skill provides specialized guidance for building high-performance networking layers in iOS and macOS applications using native Apple frameworks. It emphasizes modern Swift 6.3 patterns, specifically leveraging async/await and structured concurrency to replace legacy completion-handler approaches. Developers can quickly implement production-grade API clients with features like request middleware, automated token refresh flows, cursor-based pagination, and sophisticated error handling. By focusing on URLSession, this skill ensures a lightweight, dependency-free architecture that is fully optimized for the latest Apple platforms and SwiftUI applications.
