NSURLSession: How to increase time out for URL requests?

Question

I am using iOS 7\'s new NSURLSessionDataTask to retrieve data as follows:

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];

NSURLSessionDat         


        

Answer 1

In my case I was increasing the timeout of the wrong class. My timeout error was solved by increasing the timeout of the URLRequest not the URLSession

var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.timeoutInterval = 30
