As of Jan. 17, 2023, AFNetworking is deprecated and there will be no further releases. This repo will remain online in perpetuity as an archive. There are a couple options for continued AFNetworking use:
- Copy AFNetworking into your project and compile it directly. This gives you full control over the code.
- Fork AFNetworking and use the fork in your dependency manager. There will be no official forks but anyone can fork at any time and can even publish those forks under a different name, in accordance with AFNetworking's license.
Moving forward, Alamofire is the suggested migration path for networking in modern Swift. Anyone who needs help making that migration is welcome to ask on StackOverflow and tag alamofire and afnetworking, or open a discussion on Alamofire's GitHub Discussions regarding any migration issues or missing features.
AFNetworking is a delightful networking library for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It's built on top of the Foundation URL Loading System, extending the powerful high-level networking abstractions built into Cocoa. It has a modular architecture with well-designed, feature-rich APIs that are a joy to use.
Perhaps the most important feature of all, however, is the amazing community of developers who use and contribute to AFNetworking every day. AFNetworking powers some of the most popular and critically-acclaimed apps on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Download AFNetworking and try out the included Mac and iPhone example apps
- Read the "Getting Started" guide, FAQ, or other articles on the Wiki
- If you need help, use Stack Overflow. (Tag 'afnetworking')
- If you'd like to ask a general question, use Stack Overflow.
- If you found a bug, and can provide steps to reliably reproduce it, open an issue.
- If you have a feature request, open an issue.
- If you want to contribute, submit a pull request.
AFNetworking supports multiple methods for installing the library in a project.
To integrate AFNetworking into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 4.0'Once you have your Swift package set up, adding AFNetworking as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.0.0"))
]Note: AFNetworking's Swift package does not include it's UIKit extensions.
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate AFNetworking, add the following to your Cartfile.
github "AFNetworking/AFNetworking" ~> 4.0
| AFNetworking Version | Minimum iOS Target | Minimum macOS Target | Minimum watchOS Target | Minimum tvOS Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.x | iOS 9 | macOS 10.10 | watchOS 2.0 | tvOS 9.0 | Xcode 11+ is required. |
| 3.x | iOS 7 | OS X 10.9 | watchOS 2.0 | tvOS 9.0 | Xcode 7+ is required. NSURLConnectionOperation support has been removed. |
| 2.6 -> 2.6.3 | iOS 7 | OS X 10.9 | watchOS 2.0 | n/a | Xcode 7+ is required. |
| 2.0 -> 2.5.4 | iOS 6 | OS X 10.8 | n/a | n/a | Xcode 5+ is required. NSURLSession subspec requires iOS 7 or OS X 10.9. |
| 1.x | iOS 5 | Mac OS X 10.7 | n/a | n/a | |
| 0.10.x | iOS 4 | Mac OS X 10.6 | n/a | n/a |
(macOS projects must support 64-bit with modern Cocoa runtime).
Programming in Swift? Try Alamofire for a more conventional set of APIs.

AFURLSessionManager creates and manages an NSURLSession object based on a specified NSURLSessionConfiguration object, which conforms to <NSURLSessionTaskDelegate>, <NSURLSessionDataDelegate>, <NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate>, and <NSURLSessionDelegate>.
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];

NSString *URLString = @"http://example.com";
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"foo": @"bar", @"baz": @[@1, @2, @3]};[[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] requestWithMethod:@"GET" URLString:URLString parameters:parameters error:nil];GET http://example.com?foo=bar&baz[]=1&baz[]=2&baz[]=3

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
foo=bar&baz[]=1&baz[]=2&baz[]=3
[[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer] requestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:URLString parameters:parameters error:nil];POST http://example.com/
Content-Type: application/json
{"foo": "bar", "baz": [1,2,3]}
AFNetworkReachabilityManager monitors the reachability of domains, and addresses for both WWAN and WiFi network interfaces.
- Do not use Reachability to determine if the original request should be sent.
- You should try to send it.
- You can use Reachability to determine when a request should be automatically retried.
- Although it may still fail, a Reachability notification that the connectivity is available is a good time to retry something.
- Network reachability is a useful tool for determining why a request might have failed.
- After a network request has failed, telling the user they're offline is better than giving them a more technical but accurate error, such as "request timed out."

Adding pinned SSL certificates to your app helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and other vulnerabilities. Applications dealing with sensitive customer data or financial information are strongly encouraged to route all communication over an HTTPS connection with SSL pinning configured and enabled.
