Low Data Mode

  • User preference to minimize data usage
    • Explicit signal to reduce network data use
    • Per wifi and cellular network
    • Background tasks are deferred in this mode
    • Background app refresh is also disabled

URLSession & Network.framework

  • Try large/prefetch with allowsConstrainedNetworkAccess = false

  • On failure with error.networkUnavailableReason == .constrained try low data mode alternative here

  • Set prohibitConstrainedPaths on NWParameters

  • Check isExpensive in NWPath

Combine in URLSession

.debounce()
.removeDuplicates
.filter {}
.map {}
.sink()
  • DataTaskPublisher
    • Single value publisher
    • Similar to URLSession.dataTask
    .tryCatch {}
.tryMap {}
.retry(1)
.replaceError(with)
.receive(on: Thread)
.assign(to)

WebSocket

  • Two-way communication over TLS/TCP connection
  • Works with Firewalls and CDNs
  • Proxy support

URLSessionWebSocketTask

  • Compatible with URLSessionTask

  • Server-> NWListener

  • Webkit -> Javascript Websocket

  • URLSession -> URLSessionWebSocketTask

    • Supports authentication and cookies

  • Network.framework -> Webseocket Connection & Listener

Mobility Improvements

Wi-Fi Assist in iOS 13

  • Cross-layer mobility detection is built into URLSession and Network.framework

  • Rethink SCNetworkReachability usage

  • Control access with allowsExpensiveNetworkAccess = false

Multipath Transports

  • Apple maps and music are now also using this technology as Siri to have a better transition between cellular & wi-fi
