Try this :

        var urlString = "http://yyy.xxx.com/User/GetUserDetailsByEmailAddress?EmailAddress=\(encodedEmail)"
        urlString = urlString.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)

let encodedEmail = emailAddressTxt.text!

urlString = urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters:.urlHostAllowed)

print(escapedString)
