FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Swift API client using async/await?

A protocol-based networking layer in Swift organizes API endpoints into protocols, promoting abstraction and testability. It uses modern Swift concurrency for non-blocking requests while enforcing typed error handling for network operations.

Does this networking layer support iOS 15 and macOS 12?

Yes, the generated networking layer supports iOS 15+ and macOS 12+ targets. It requires Swift 5.5 or later to properly leverage async/await concurrency features for non-blocking network requests.

How do I handle authentication in a Swift networking layer?

Authentication in a Swift networking layer is handled through built-in configuration options during client generation. The Skill scaffolds the necessary protocol structure to manage authentication tokens alongside base URL setup and request routing.

Can I add retry logic and logging to my Swift API client?

Yes, you can add retry logic and logging to your Swift API client through optional features provided by the generator. These capabilities are integrated into the protocol-based design alongside core error handling mechanisms.

What is the best way to structure a protocol-based networking layer in Swift?

The best way to structure a protocol-based networking layer in Swift is by defining protocols for clients and endpoints. This approach promotes abstraction and testability, allowing you to mock network operations easily in unit tests.
