Question 1

How to use MMBarricade with Swift in an iOS app?

Accepted Answer

MMBarricade is written in Objective-C, so you can use it in Swift by bridging the headers. Import the framework and call setup methods like `MMBarricade.setupWithInMemoryResponseStore()` in your AppDelegate, following the Objective-C examples in the README for response set registration.

Question 2

MMBarricade vs OHHTTPStubs: which is better for iOS testing?

Accepted Answer

MMBarricade excels with its runtime UI for switching responses, making it ideal for manual development debugging. OHHTTPStubs is simpler for unit tests with stubbed responses but lacks interactive selection. Choose based on whether you need runtime configurability or lightweight stubbing.

Question 3

How to simulate a network timeout error with MMBarricade?

Accepted Answer

Add a response with an NSError using `[NSError errorWithDomain:NSURLErrorDomain code:NSURLErrorTimedOut userInfo:nil]` when creating a response set, similar to the 'Offline' example in the README. This allows barricade to return timeout errors for testing.

Question 4

Does MMBarricade work with Alamofire in Swift projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MMBarricade should work with Alamofire if Alamofire uses NSURLSession, which it typically does. Ensure the barricade is enabled for your session configuration as per the 'Advanced Configuration' section, and test interception with response sets.

Question 5

How to ensure MMBarricade is disabled for App Store submissions?

Accepted Answer

Wrap barricade setup in build configuration macros, e.g., `#if DEBUG` around `[MMBarricade enable]`, or use CocoaPods to limit installation to debug configurations only, as recommended in the README's 'App Store Submission' tips to avoid accidental inclusion.

Question 6

Can I add custom responses dynamically without restarting the app?

Accepted Answer

Responses are predefined at setup time using response sets, but you can programmatically switch between them at runtime using `[MMBarricade selectResponseForRequest:withName:]`. However, adding entirely new response sets on the fly isn't supported without re-registration.
