When trying to create my own session object NSURLSession()
and request an url I get an unrecognized selector exception but when I use the shared session NSURLSession.sharedSession()
everything works fine. How come?
var url = NSURL(string: "http:/www.google.com")
if url != nil {
//throws unrecognized selector when dataTaskWithURL is called
let session=NSURLSession()
session.dataTaskWithURL(url!)
//works
let sharedSession=NSURLSession.sharedSession()
sharedSession.dataTaskWithURL(url!)
}
You have to init URLSession
with a configuration:
URLSession(configuration: .default)
or use shared session
URLSession.shared
In SWIFT 3.0 and up:
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler:
{
(data, response, error) in
//Your code
}).resume()
Aside from the shared session NSURLSession
must be initialized with one of these two methods
init(configuration configuration: NSURLSessionConfiguration)
init(configuration configuration: NSURLSessionConfiguration,
delegate delegate: NSURLSessionDelegate?,
delegateQueue queue: NSOperationQueue?)
Do the initialization while declaration :-
var session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
