iOS Networking

Priority: P0

Implementation Workflow

Choose networking layer — Use native
```
URLSession
```
with async/await for simple apps;
```
Alamofire
```
for production APIs with interceptors.
Build URLs safely — Use
```
URLComponents
```
and
```
URLQueryItem
```
; never use string interpolation for URL parameters.
Decode with Codable — Use
```
Codable
```
for all JSON mapping. Prefer
```
snake_case
```
key decoding strategies.
Add auth interceptor — Use
```
RequestInterceptor
```
to inject
```
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```
on all requests.
Handle token refresh — On 401, use
```
RequestInterceptor.onRetry
```
to call
```
refreshToken()
```
and retry.
Pin certificates — Use
```
ServerTrustManager
```
or
```
TrustKit
```
for production-grade security.

See URLSession and Alamofire implementation examples

Anti-Patterns

No Background UI Updates: Always dispatch to
```
@MainActor
```
or main queue
No Manual
JSONSerialization
: Use
```
Codable
```
and
```
JSONDecoder
```
No Missing Timeouts: Set reasonable
```
timeoutInterval
```
(30s default)
