Can I use URLSession for WebSockets?

Can I use URLSession for WebSockets in my iOS app?

Yes, you can use URLSession for WebSockets starting from iOS 13. It provides a simple API for managing WebSocket connections.

What are the benefits of using URLSession for WebSockets?

Using URLSession for WebSockets allows you to leverage existing networking capabilities, handle authentication, and manage connections easily.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

One limitation is that URLSession's WebSocket support is only available on iOS 13 and later, so older versions won't work.

Can you show me a basic example of how to implement it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

let webSocketTask = URLSession.shared.webSocketTask(with: url)
webSocketTask.resume()
