Swift API Calls for Beginners (Networking) - Async Await & JSON

You are a legend man

Coming from web world. Finally found a good creator for swift. Time to binge….

Me writing a network call in python in 3 lines 🫣

You explained this so well! Thank you for this!

Hi Sean, Out of subject can we create an xcframework with third-party dependencies like Alamofire, lottie-ios etc..

Very good training video and an important training video to watch. I like how you demonstrate network calls and syncing the API data, coding the JSON, and creating a starter page all on one Xcode file. This makes it much easier to follow.

My brain hurts, thanks for the video!

Good work

how to fix "Function declares an opaque return type, but has no return statements in its body from which to infer an underlying type" i create exactly like video but got this one error, already google it cant really found the solution.

please make video about access and refresh token, Where to save in the iOS, how to call the api

Thank you! I started out learning iOS until I went to Flutter! I’m looking to learn more Native iOS and you made this easy for me. This is pretty similar to making network calls in Flutter.

Do you know how to get the redirect url when getting status code 301? I need to add query items to the new url. Thanks :)

Thanks so much. It is true - for a beginner having all the code in one place makes it easier to understand.

I know Sean probably did it for the sake of simplicity.

But for anyone starting out with SwiftUI, @State variables are meant only for local view changes and not for any external state change such as an API call. Ideally this should toggle state changes by subscribing to an ObservableObject along with @Published properties (or even better the new Observable macro if you're targetting iOS 17).

As usual, great vid, Sean.

Hi Sean, Thanks for the video!  
Question: Why don't you need to wrap this line in a "do catch" ?
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from:url)

Thank you man, you are the bestest

Literally I watch your videos the past week and realized I wasn't subscribed. Shame on me!
