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.
