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. Also use when handling HTTP requests, API clients, network error handling, or data fetching in Swift apps.

# iOS Networking Use URLSession with async/await and structured concurrency for ordinary HTTP, REST, uploads, downloads, and streaming. Use Network.framework for lower-level protocols and delegate/task APIs for durable background transfers. ## Contents - [Core URLSession async/await](#core-urlsession-asyncawait) - [API Client Architecture](#api-client-architecture) - [Error Handling](#error-handling) - [Pagination](#pagination) - [Network Reachability](#network-reachability) - [Configuring URLSession](#configuring-urlsession) - [App Transport Security (ATS)](#app-transport-security-ats) - [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes) - [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) - [References](#references) ## Core URLSession async/await URLSession gained native async/await overloads in iOS 15. Prefer these for foreground data, upload, download, and streaming work. Background URLSession transfers are the main exception: they still use task/delegate APIs so the system can deliver events after suspension or relaunch. Validate networking policy locally with `URLProtocol` fixtures for valid 2xx, malformed 2xx, one-time 401 refresh, bounded 429/5xx retry, timeout/offline, cancellation, and nonretryable 4xx. Inspect headers, status, and error classification; fix the policy and rerun. Retry only safe/idempotent or explicitly replayable requests, and never loop token refresh. ### Data Requests ```swift // Basic GET let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) // With a
