A lightweight Swift library for simplified concurrent and sequential file uploads and downloads on iOS.
Transporter is a lightweight Swift library that simplifies uploading and downloading files in iOS applications. It provides an elegant API for managing concurrent and sequential network tasks with built-in support for background transfers, progress tracking, and task control. The library solves the complexity of handling multiple file transfers with minimal code.
iOS developers building apps that require reliable file upload/download functionality, such as media-sharing applications, cloud backup tools, or apps syncing data with remote servers.
Developers choose Transporter for its intuitive custom operators that make task grouping expressive, its comprehensive support for background iOS sessions, and its lightweight design that reduces boilerplate compared to lower-level networking APIs.

Custom operators `|||` and `-->` enable intuitive management of concurrent and sequential transfers, reducing code verbosity for complex task flows.
Built-in integration with iOS background URL sessions simplifies handling file transfers when the app is in the background, as shown in the app delegate example.
Provides methods to pause, resume, cancel, and track progress for individual or grouped tasks, offering fine-grained management with minimal boilerplate.
Allows setting custom HTTP headers and parameters per task, giving developers control over network requests without additional abstraction layers.
The README's Todo list marks retry, pause, cancel, and validation as pending, indicating these core features might be unreliable or missing.
Reliance on custom operators can confuse developers unfamiliar with Swift operator overloading, potentially hindering code readability and team collaboration.
With version 0.1.1 and requirements for older Xcode, the library appears minimally updated, risking compatibility issues with newer iOS versions and lacking community plugins.
