Update: Starting with iOS 13, NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadRevalidatingCacheData and NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData are implemented. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios_ipados_release_notes/ios_13_release_notes

I'm using this way in a project and it's working:

mutableURLRequest.cachePolicy = NSURLRequestCachePolicy.ReloadIgnoringCacheData

request(mutableURLRequest).validate().responseJSON{ response in...
