Starscream VS Alamofire

The easiest way is to use Starscream SDK of 3.1.2 version which completley complies with their WebSocketConnecting protocol. (yep, it’s not new and may have some issues but it works)

I am trying to create a function of an app where the app will update outside the app / even when the app is closed on the background once a notification has been received. Im also looking into https://github.com/daltoniam/Starscream

[1] Use Starscreamfor Swift or check out a tutorial on Apple's built-in stuff. Check out this tutorial too, so you understand WebSocketsmore in-depth before you take the plunge.

For Swift programmers targeting iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms in 2021, there are two main libraries that can be used to connect to a WebSocket server: Starscream and URLSession. While both are capable libraries, they also have advantages and disadvantages which are important to consider before choosing one over the other.

Alamofire is a swift http request lib. By default, we need use completion handler to handle response. Today we are going to find out how to use it with async and await.

Looks like your Alamofire tutorial is out of date. I suggest you read the current documentation and update your code. For instance, you can update your example to:

Alamofire - Elegant HTTP networking

Alamofire - Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift. (de facto standard library for network) Language: Swift.

You can find an example using Alamofire, the most commonly used network framework, here.

To add Alamofire, we'll be using Swift Package Manager. Xcode comes with built-in support for it and we'll not have to use external package managers like Cocoapods or Carthage. Click on File → Add Packages...
