How do you convert an NSURL to a String in Swift? The following: var directoryURL: NSURL var urlString: String = nsurlObject as String Throws the error: Cannot convert value of type 'NSURL' to type 'String' in coercion It turns out there are properties of NSURL you can access (see Swift Reference ): var directoryURL: NSURL var urlString: String = directoryURL.absoluteString // OR var urlString: String = directoryURL.relativeString // OR var urlString: String = directoryURL.relativePath // OR var urlString: String = directoryURL.path // etc. In Swift 3 & 4 , To convert URL to String, you can

When resolving an NSURL from a security scoped bookmark, if the user has renamed or moved that file or folder, the bookmark will be stale. Apple's document says this regarding staleness: isStale On return, if YES, the bookmark data is stale. Your app should create a new bookmark using the returned URL and use it in place of any stored copies of the existing bookmark. Unfortunately, this rarely works for me. It may work 5% of the time. Attempting to create a new bookmark using the returned URL results in an error, code 256, and looking in Console reveals a message from sandboxd saying deny file

I have a NSURL object which gives me the path of a local file (in documents folder). I want to populate an NSData object with the contents of this file.

URL which opens in Firefox,Chrome browsers on desktop, doesn't open in WebView on iPhone. This URL is supposedly accessing a GET request. When creating the NSURL without percentescaping the url doesn't get generated. When using percentescape the url redirects to a Bad url content. Is there a different encoding used on desktop browsers and not on the iPhone? or mobile Safari? Are there different ways to encode the URL in iOS other than using -stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding -CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes which generates bad request content pages from server. Any help would

I am using swift 3.0 running under iOS 10.0 and I want to craft some code that fires when a batch condition is met. for i in 0 ..< rex { async code, disappears and does it stuff } Imagine the async code is a collection of URL requests, that basically background as soon as I loop thru them. Now how can I fire off more code when "rex" requests have completed? I thought of setting up a timer to watch and check every second, but its surely not a good solution. I thought kicking off another thread to simply watch the data being collected, and fire when its quota is full, but well that's worse then

I have a valid URL for google maps , which if you run in your browser would show an image of a map. However, when I put it inside my Swift code and try to create an NSURL from String it returns nil let urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?maptype=hybrid&center=37.33233141,-122.0312186&path=color:0xff0000|weight:10|37.33233141,-122.0312186|21.422570,%2039.826190&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C37.33233141,-122.0312186&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C21.422570,39.826190&zoom=1&size=1080x1920" let url = NSURL(string: urlString) Currently , this returns nil, I don't know why.
