Can it help me migrate from old networking libraries?

Absolutely. It provides specialized routing for migrating from deprecated APIs to modern URLSession and Network.framework implementations.

How does it handle network debugging?

The skill includes a dedicated diagnostic module that helps identify the root cause of timeouts, TLS failures, and data transmission issues.

Does this skill support the latest iOS 26+ networking features?

Yes, it specifically includes support for the iOS 26+ NetworkConnection API alongside legacy NWConnection support for older versions.

Does it handle WebSocket or TCP connections?

Yes, it contains detailed references for Network.framework to help implement TCP, TLV framing, and specialized socket-level communication.

Mobile Development

Implements and debugs robust network connections across Apple platforms using modern patterns and structured concurrency.

About

The ios-networking skill provides a comprehensive framework for building and troubleshooting network layers on iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It guides developers through implementing URLSession with modern Swift concurrency, managing low-level socket connections via Network.framework, and migrating from deprecated APIs. By incorporating a diagnostic-first approach, it helps resolve complex connectivity issues like TLS handshake failures and timeouts while ensuring code aligns with Apple's latest platform standards, from legacy iOS 12 support to the latest NetworkConnection APIs in iOS 26+.

Key Features

Automated migration paths from deprecated networking APIs to modern standards
Advanced connection diagnostics for timeouts, TLS failures, and VPN issues
Comprehensive Network.framework and NWConnection reference for socket-level control
URLSession implementation with Swift structured concurrency (async/await)
148 GitHub stars
Version-aware guidance covering iOS 12 through iOS 26+ specifications

Use Cases

Building high-performance TCP/UDP connections for IoT or low-level protocol communication
Refactoring legacy completion-handler networking to modern async/await patterns
Debugging intermittent API connection drops and handshake failures in mobile apps
