Implementing a Basic HTTPClient in Swift

Every Swift project needs networking — and most write the same boilerplate code each time.

What this video builds:

  • A reusable HTTPClient type
  • Sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests
  • Decoding JSON responses with Codable
  • Handling HTTP status codes and errors
  • Adding headers (auth, content‑type)

What you'll learn:

  • Designing a clean networking API
  • Using async/await for network calls
  • Error handling patterns
  • Making the client testable

Why it matters: Once built, this client can be dropped into any project and extended for auth, caching, or logging.

Fastlane alternative – CLI tools

Are you tired of Ruby and Fastlane installation issues? There's got to be a better way! Discover Codemagic open source CLI tools. It is not a drop-in replacement for all of what Fastlane does (screenshots for example), but we use it at Codemagic to build and publish iOS and Android apps, also versioning and device provisioning.
