I am trying to pull some data from my local node server. The server is getting the get request and logging it, but for some reason my iOS app will not execute any of the cod
try this magic:
static NSURLSession* sharedSessionMainQueue = nil;
if(!sharedSessionMainQueue){
sharedSessionMainQueue = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:nil delegate:nil delegateQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]];
}
NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask =
[sharedSessionMainQueue dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data,
NSURLResponse *response,
NSError *error){
//now will be on main thread
}];
[dataTask resume];
This gives you the original behavior of NSURLConnection with the completing handler on the main thread so you are safe to update the UI. However, say you would like to parse the download or do some heavy processing, in that case you might benefit from the completion handler on the operation queue's background thread and then using dispatch_sync to the main thread as a final step.
