Use when implementing or debugging ANY network connection, API call, or socket. Covers URLSession, Network.framework, NetworkConnection, deprecated APIs, connection diagnostics, structured concurrency networking.
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. Trigger for any task involving HTTP requests, API clients, network error handling, or data fetching in Swift apps.
Implement Swift Codable models for JSON and property-list encoding and decoding with JSONDecoder, JSONEncoder, CodingKeys, and custom init(from:) or encode(to:). Use when parsing API responses, remapping keys, flattening nested JSON, handling date or data decoding strategies, decoding heterogeneous arrays, or integrating Codable with URLSession, SwiftData, or UserDefaults.
Reviews URLSession networking code for iOS/macOS. Covers async/await patterns, request building, error handling, caching, and background sessions.
Complete background task API reference - BGTaskScheduler, BGAppRefreshTask, BGProcessingTask, BGContinuedProcessingTask (iOS 26), beginBackgroundTask, background URLSession, with all WWDC code examples
Encode and decode Swift types to and from JSON, property lists, and other external representations using Codable, JSONEncoder, and JSONDecoder. Use when implementing API response parsing, custom CodingKeys for key remapping, custom init(from:) or encode(to:) for complex transformations, nested or flattened JSON structures, heterogeneous array decoding, date and data decoding strategies, lossy array wrappers, Codable integration with URLSession, SwiftData, or UserDefaults, or when configuring encoder/decoder output formatting and key strategies.
Master iOS networking - URLSession, async/await, REST APIs, authentication
Expert Alamofire decisions for iOS/tvOS: when Alamofire adds value vs URLSession suffices, interceptor chain design trade-offs, retry strategy selection, and certificate pinning considerations. Use when designing network layer, implementing auth token refresh, or choosing between networking approaches. Trigger keywords: Alamofire, URLSession, interceptor, RequestAdapter, RequestRetrier, certificate pinning, Session, network layer, token refresh, retry
Schedule and execute background work on iOS using BGTaskScheduler. Use when registering BGAppRefreshTask for short background fetches, BGProcessingTask for long-running maintenance, BGContinuedProcessingTask (iOS 26+) for foreground-started work that continues in background, background URLSession downloads, or background push notifications. Covers Info.plist configuration, expiration handling, task completion, and debugging with simulated launches.
Develop native iOS apps with Swift. Covers MVVM architecture, SwiftUI, URLSession for networking, Combine for reactive programming, and Core Data persistence.
Expert API integration decisions for iOS/tvOS: REST vs GraphQL trade-offs, API versioning strategies, caching layer design, and offline-first architecture choices. Use when designing network architecture, implementing offline support, or choosing between API patterns. Trigger keywords: REST, GraphQL, API versioning, caching, offline-first, URLSession, background fetch, ETag, pagination, rate limiting
Symptom-based background task troubleshooting - decision trees for 'task never runs', 'task terminates early', 'works in dev not prod', 'handler not called', with time-cost analysis for each diagnosis path
