NSURLSession is new network SDK than NSURLConnection from Apple. 3rd old choice is CFNetwork. Question here is to figure out the biggest difference between them to understand why Apple is evolving like these. Thanks The entire model is different. NSURLSession is designed around the assumption that you'll have a lot of requests that need similar configuration (standard sets of headers, etc.), and makes life much easier if you do. NSURLSession also provides support for background downloads, which make it possible to continue downloading resources while your app isn't running (or when it is in

I'm trying to build a bulk image downloader, where images can be added to a queue on the fly to be downloaded, and I can find out the progress and when they're done downloading. Through my reading it seems like NSOperationQueue for the queue functionality and NSURLSession for the network functionality seems like my best bet, but I'm confused as to how to use the two in tandem. I know I add instances of NSOperation to the NSOperationQueue and they get queued. And it seems I create a download task with NSURLSessionDownloadTask , and multiple if I need multiple tasks, but I'm not sure how I put

Looking over the documentation of NSURLSession and NSURLSessionConfiguration , I was under the impression I should configure it with a dictionary like the following: // Create a dictionary to describe the proxy NSDictionary *proxyDict = @{ (NSString *)kCFProxyHostNameKey : @"myProxyHost.com", (NSString *)kCFProxyPortNumberKey : @"12345", (NSString *)kCFProxyTypeKey : (NSString*)kCFProxyTypeHTTP }; // Create a configuration that uses the dictionary NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]; [configuration setConnectionProxyDictionary

I am using NSURLSession for background image uploading. And according to uploaded image my server gives me response and I do change in my app accordingly. But I can't get my server response when my app uploading image in background because there is no completion block. Is there way to get response without using completion block in NSURLUploadTask ? Here is my code : self.uploadTask = [self.session uploadTaskWithRequest:request fromData:body completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding

iOS 10 is going to be released soon so it worth to test applications for compatibility with it. During such test we've discovered that our app can't resume background downloads on iOS10. Code that worked well on previous versions does not work on new one, both on an emulator and on a device. Instead of reducing our code to minimal working test case I've searched internet for NSUrlSession tutorials and tested them. Behaviour is the same: resuming works on previos versions of iOS but breaks on 10th. Steps to Reproduce: Download a project form NSUrlSession tutorial https://www.raywenderlich.com
