swift-nio VS Proxyman

In addition to what others have said, SwiftNIO is a possible low-level web server framework.

Also look at: Hummingbird https://github.com/hummingbird-project/hummingbird Smoke https://github.com/amzn/smoke-framework Swift NIO https://github.com/apple/swift-nio

You could take a look a swift-nio (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio) which is a pretty high-throughput system. swift-nio does this using some reference-counted GC where it simplifies the code and doesn't affect performance. Otherwise, value-types are used which incur no GC overhead (unless they are copy-on-write, and backed by something that requires reference counting).

The UI and the Core are mainly written by Swift. The proxy server is powered by Apple Swift-NIO. Some critical parts (deal with low-level system APIs, high performant JSON Parser, de/compression, protobuf, BoringSSL,...) are written by Objective-C and C. For some parts that deal with Pointer, or C library, I continue using Objective-C since it's easier than using a bunch of Unsafe Swift classes (UnsafePointer, UnsafeMutablePointer, UnsafeRawPointer, etc)

Because they need it?

Apple discontinued macOS server, i bet they use Linux in some of their servers

All their networking related libs are available and tested for Linux [1, 2]

Let's not forget that they package Swift for Linux, and now also for Windows [3]

Swift is crossplatform language (you not wanting to understand it doesn't change this fact), it's not a macOS framework

I would look at NIO or something that uses it, like https://diamantidis.github.io/2019/10/27/swift-nio-server-in-an-ios-app

i use swiftnio to spin up http servers. lots of documentation online. your app logic will be the same as ios but without swiftui and uikit.

Depending on what you need, SwiftNIO might do the trick.

If you want something a little more robust for a low-level TCP connection, you can also use SwiftNIO.

I previously used Proxyman [1] on iOS to the http requests send over TLS. It worked rather nicely. Proxyman in this case starts a VPN which handles all the traffic. It uses custom certificate to decrypt the messages.

Proxyman - Price: Free (optional paid plans available) Modern and intuitive HTTP/HTTPS debugging proxy app for macOS.

I'm using self-developed app MindMac daily to talk with ChatGPT, Proxyman to capture network, TablePlus to access databases and CleanshotX to take screenshots. All of them are currently in an active status.

I've never tried it. Maybe you should give it a try. If it doesn't work, please create a ticket at https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues

I'm happy to support you.

Basically, Atlantis is a framework from Proxyman to capture their HTTP/HTTPS traffic for debugging purposes. It only needs during development, and should be removed from the production (AppStore) build.

Wonder if this application matches your demand: https://proxyman.io/
