Answer 1

For Swift 4:

let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
config.timeoutIntervalForRequest = TimeInterval(15)
config.timeoutIntervalForResource = TimeInterval(15)
let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: config)

The timeoutIntervalForRequest is for all tasks within sessions based on this configuration. The timeoutIntervalForResource is for all tasks within sessions based on this configuration.
