Question 1

Swish or Alamofire for Swift networking?

Accepted Answer

Swish is better for projects prioritizing testability and minimalism with Decodable integration, while Alamofire offers more features like caching and multipart uploads out-of-the-box. Choose based on whether you need lightweight control or comprehensive functionality.

Question 2

How to mock network requests with Swish?

Accepted Answer

Swish's protocol-based design lets you create mock implementations of its protocols for testing. Check the Testing.md documentation for examples on setting up mocks and stubs to isolate network dependencies.

Question 3

Does Swish support Swift 5?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Swish version 4.0.0 and above is compatible with Swift 5.X, as shown in the version compatibility table in the README. Ensure you use the correct version for your Swift setup.

Question 4

Can Swish handle error responses in JSON?

Accepted Answer

Swish integrates with Decodable, so you can model error responses as Codable types and decode them, but error handling customization requires implementing your own logic since it's not built-in.

Question 5

How to install Swish with Carthage?

Accepted Answer

Add 'github "thoughtbot/Swish"' to your Cartfile and run 'carthage update', as per the README. Follow Carthage's instructions for linking the framework to your project.

Question 6

Is Swish good for large iOS apps?

Accepted Answer

Swish can scale due to its testability and customization, but the lack of advanced features might mean more boilerplate code for complex networking compared to heavier libraries like Moya or Alamofire.
