FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate from BSD sockets to NWConnection in iOS?

Migrating from BSD sockets to NWConnection involves mapping low-level C socket APIs to Apple's modern Network.framework equivalents. This transition provides detailed code snippets and mapping guides to replace legacy socket implementations with NWConnection for cleaner, safer network code.

What is the best way to switch from URLSession StreamTask to NetworkConnection?

Switching from URLSession StreamTask to NetworkConnection is best when you need greater control and protocol flexibility. This migration provides guidance on when to transition StreamTask implementations to NetworkConnection for advanced networking capabilities.

Can I use async await with NetworkConnection for iOS 26+ migration?

Yes, NetworkConnection for iOS 26+ leverages async/await for cleaner code during migration. Guides specifically detail migrating NWConnection to NetworkConnection to take advantage of modern Swift concurrency patterns in network operations.

When do I need to migrate my networking code to Network.framework?

You need to migrate networking code to Network.framework when transitioning from legacy BSD sockets or URLSession StreamTask. Migration addresses common scenarios like needing modern protocol flexibility, greater control, and cleaner async/await code structures.

What are the benefits of migrating NWConnection to the newer NetworkConnection API?

Migrating NWConnection to NetworkConnection provides the benefit of leveraging async/await for cleaner code. The migration guides highlight how transitioning to the newer iOS 26+ API improves network code readability and maintainability.
