How to convert NSURLConnection -> NSURLSession - objective-c

I'm struggling for quite some time to make this work. Code is in Objective-C and I do not know how to convert code below to use NSURLSession. Im getting error on return.
- (NSData *)sendSynchronousRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request returningResponse:(NSURLResponse **)response error:(NSError **)error
{
if ( _staticHandler != nil) {
SBStaticHandlerResponse* mockResponse = _staticHandler(request);
if ( mockResponse != nil) {
(*response) = [[NSHTTPURLResponse alloc] initWithURL:[request URL] statusCode:200 HTTPVersion:nil headerFields:mockResponse.Headers];
return mockResponse.Data;
}
}
return [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:response error:error];
// ERROR: 'sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:' is unavailable: not available on watchOS
}
Based on link in comment, I updated code. Is this correct way?
- (NSData *)sendSynchronousRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request returningResponse:(NSURLResponse **)response error:(NSError **)error
{
NSError __block *err = NULL;
NSData __block *data;
NSURLResponse __block *resp;
[[[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:request
completionHandler:^(NSData* _data,
NSURLResponse* _response, NSError* _error) {
resp = _response;
err = _error;
data = _data;
}] resume];
if ( _staticHandler != nil) {
SBStaticHandlerResponse* mockResponse = _staticHandler(request);
if ( mockResponse != nil) {
(*response) = [[NSHTTPURLResponse alloc] initWithURL:[request URL] statusCode:200 HTTPVersion:nil headerFields:mockResponse.Headers];
return mockResponse.Data;
}
}
return data;
//return [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:response error:error];
}

The operation couldn't be completed (nsurlErrorDomain error -1012)

I have checked and applied it's all possible answers but not getting any success because I couldn't find the reason.
I am calling an API and sometimes it is working fine but some time it is giving me "The operation couldn't be completed (nsurlErrorDomain error -1012)" error.
My API calling code:
I have created this global method to call APIs. For this, I have created a singleton class.

Asynchronously Api calls and returning data outside the block

I don't understand why I am getting null array outside the block code, even though I am using __block keyword on my array.
I am successfully getting data from a backend api with following code
`-(void)getJsonResponse:(NSString *)urlStr success:(void (^)(NSArray *responseDict))success failure:(void(^)(NSError* error))failure
{
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr];
// Asynchronously API is hit here
NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask = [session dataTaskWithURL:url
completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
// NSLog(#"%#",data);
if (error)
failure(error);
else {
NSArray *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
// NSLog(#"%#",json);
success(json);
}
}];
[dataTask resume]; // Executed First
}`
Then in my function for returning the data I am using following
`- (NSArray *)get_data:(NSDictionary *)credentials{
NSString *urlStr =[ NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://test.com %#",credentials];
__block NSArray *jsonArray= [[NSArray alloc]init];
[self getJsonResponse:urlStr success:^(NSArray *responseArray) {
jsonArray = responseArray;
NSLog(#"%#",responseArray);
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// error handling here ...
}];
NSLog(#"%#",jsonArray);
return jsonArray;
}
`
The issue here is although I am successfully getting data within getJsonResponse block, but when I am trying to return the response data array as function return I am getting null for jsonArray. I thought assigning __block infront of jsonArray should retain the data assign within the block code ?
The second approach is not to use Async way like following
`- (NSData *)sendSynchronousRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request returningResponse:(NSURLResponse **)response error:(NSError **)error
{
NSError __block *err = NULL;
NSData __block *data;
BOOL __block reqProcessed = false;
NSURLResponse __block *resp;
[[[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable _data, NSURLResponse * _Nullable _response, NSError * _Nullable _error) {
resp = _response;
err = _error;
data = _data;
reqProcessed = true;
}] resume];
while (!reqProcessed) {
[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0];
}
*response = resp;
*error = err;
return data;
}`
That way its blocking the main thread whilst waiting for data.
I would suggest using the same approach of getJsonResponse for your get_data function:
- (void)get_data:(NSDictionary *)credentials finish:(void(^)(NSArray *data))finish{
NSString *urlStr =[ NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://test.com %#",credentials];
__block NSArray *jsonArray= [[NSArray alloc]init];
[self getJsonResponse:urlStr success:^(NSArray *responseArray) {
jsonArray = responseArray;
if (finish) {
finish(jsonArray);
}
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// error handling here ...
}];
}

Facing an issue with NSURLSessionDataTask with SynchronousRequest in objective-c

Here is my working code with NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest :
+ (Inc*)getData:(NSString*)inUUID {
NSString* urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/inc/%#", incUUID];
NSURLRequest* request = [[HttpRequest requestWithRelativePath:urlString] toNSMutableURLRequest];
NSDictionary* json = [self getJSONForRequest:request];
return [Inc incFromDictionary:json];
}
+ (NSDictionary*)getJSONForRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request {
NSData* responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
return [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
}
But, sendSynchronousRequest:request is deprecated.
So that, I used NSURLSessionDataTaskinstead of sendSynchronousRequest. Here, is the code which I implemented:
+ (Inc*)getData1:(NSString*)inUUID {
NSString* urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/in/%#", inUUID];
NSURLRequest* request = [[HttpRequest requestWithRelativePath:urlString] toNSMutableURLRequest];
//NSDictionary* json = [self getJSONForRequest1:request];
__block NSDictionary* json;
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self getJsonResponse1:request success:^(NSDictionary *responseDict) {
json = [responseDict valueForKeyPath:#"detail"];;
//return [Inc incFromDictionary:json];
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// error handling here ...
}];
});
return [Inc incFromDictionary:json];
}
+ (void)getJsonResponse1:(NSURLRequest *)urlStr success:(void (^)(NSDictionary *responseDict))success failure:(void(^)(NSError* error))failure
{
NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask1 = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:urlStr completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response,
NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#",data);
if (error)
failure(error);
else {
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#",json);
success(json);
}
}];
[dataTask1 resume]; // Executed First
}
The problem is return statement call in getData1 before finish the api call.
Thanks in advance.
As mentioned in the comments you need a completion handler.
Something like this (untested):
+ (void)getData1:(NSString*)inUUID success:(void (^)(NSDictionary *responseDict))success failure:(void(^)(NSError* error))failure {
NSString* urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/in/%#", inUUID];
NSURLRequest* request = [[HttpRequest requestWithRelativePath:urlString] toNSMutableURLRequest];
[self getJsonResponse1:request success:^(NSDictionary *responseDict) {
NSDictionary* json = [responseDict valueForKeyPath:#"detail"];
success(json);
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
failure(error);
}];
}
+ (void)getJsonResponse1:(NSURLRequest *)urlStr success:(void (^)(NSDictionary *responseDict))success failure:(void(^)(NSError* error))failure
{
NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask1 = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:urlStr completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response,
NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#",data);
if (error)
failure(error);
else {
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#",json);
success(json);
}
}];
[dataTask1 resume]; // Executed First
}
And to call
[MyClass getData1:#"asdf" success:^(NSDictionary *responseDict) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
NSDictionary *json = [responseDict valueForKeyPath:#"detail"];
Inc *inc = [Inc incFromDictionary:json];
// do something witrh `inc`
});
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// error handling here ...
}];
Consider to use instances and instance methods of your class(es) rather than only class methods.

CouchDb views not updating

Okay I'm currently using CouchDb v 1.2.0 for a scheme application with objective-c. When i run my program I'm deleting the old version of the database and creating a new one like this:
CouchDb *couchDb = [[CouchDb alloc]init];
//Deleting the old version of the db if it exists for xcode demo
[couchDb deleteDb:#"timevault" onComplete:^(NSString *message) {
NSLog(#"%#", message);
}];
//Creating a new db
[couchDb createDb:#"timevault" onComplete:^(NSString *message) {
NSLog(#"%#", message);
}];
//Creating views to get students and courses
NSString *viewCourses = #"function (doc) { if (doc.type === \"Course\") { emit(doc._id, doc); } }";
NSString *viewStudents = #"function (doc) { if (doc.type === \"Student\") { emit(doc._id, doc); } }";
NSDictionary *views = #{#"views": #{#"courses": #{#"map":viewCourses}, #"students": #{#"map":viewStudents}}};
//Saving design document to db
[couchDb createViewInDb:views onComplete:^(NSString *message) {
NSLog(#"%#", message);
}];
Class implementation:
-(void)deleteDb:(NSString *)name onComplete:(message)message{
NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:#"http://localhost:5984/"];
[url appendString:name];
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"DELETE"];
NSURLResponse *responseCode = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&responseCode error:&error];
if (!error) {
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)responseCode;
NSNumber *responseStatusCode = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithLong:[httpResponse statusCode]];
if ([responseStatusCode isEqualToNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:200]]) {
message([NSString stringWithFormat:#"Old db %# deleted", name]);
}
}else {
message([NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error: %#", [error localizedDescription]]);
}
}
-(void)createDb:(NSString *)name onComplete:(message)message{
NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:#"http://localhost:5984/"];
[url appendString:name];
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"PUT"];
NSURLResponse *responseCode = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&responseCode error:&error];
if (!error) {
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)responseCode;
NSNumber *responseStatusCode = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithLong:[httpResponse statusCode]];
if ([responseStatusCode isEqualToNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:412]]) {
message(#"Db already exists, no new Db was created");
}else if ([responseStatusCode isEqualToNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:201]]){
message([NSString stringWithFormat:#"Db %# created", name]);
}
}else {
message([NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error: %#", [error localizedDescription]]);
}
}
-(void)createViewInDb:(NSDictionary *)view onComplete:(message)message{
NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc]initWithString:URL];
[url appendString:#"/_design/app"];
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"PUT"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-type"];
NSData *asJson = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:view options:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[request setHTTPBody:asJson];
NSURLResponse *responseCode = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&responseCode error:&error];
if (!error){
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)responseCode;
NSNumber *responseStatusCode = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithLong:[httpResponse statusCode]];
if ([responseStatusCode isEqualToNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:201]]) {
message(#"Views in Db created");
}
}else {
message([NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error: %#", [error localizedDescription]]);
}
}
All of this is with synchronous requests. For the couchdb pros out there that doesn't know obj-c, I'm basically saying this:
DELETE http://localhost:5984/database/
PUT http://localhost:5984/database/
PUT http://localhost:5984/database/_design/app,
content-type: application/json
with body:
{"views":
{
"courses": {
"map": "function (doc) {
if (doc.type === \"Course\") {
emit(doc._id, doc);
}}"
},
"students": {
"map": "function (doc) {
if (doc.type === \"Student\") {
emit(doc._id, doc);
}}"
}}
}
My problem here is that my view: http://localhost:5984/database/_design/app/_view/students only works like half of the time, the other half it's not updating, I'm getting old id's, why is this?
I'm not looking at the old version of the db because I'm creating new documents of students and courses and that's working. Am I missing something when I'm deleting the db that concerns the _design document? I googled around on this but can't find anything that solves my problem.

Hi I'm trying to return dictionary of json twitter data so i can use it in my application. How ever it is being called from a async block. I can not save it or return it any thoughts?
-(NSDictionary *)TweetFetcher
{
TWRequest *request = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:
[NSURL URLWithString: #"http://search.twitter.com/search.json?
q=iOS%205&rpp=5&with_twitter_user_id=true&result_type=recent"] parameters:nil
requestMethod:TWRequestMethodGET];
[request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse
*urlResponse,
NSError *error)
{
if ([urlResponse statusCode] == 200)
{
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *dict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData
options:0 error:&error];
//resultsArray return an array [of dicitionaries<tweets>];
NSArray* resultsArray = [dict objectForKey:#"results"];
for (NSDictionary* internalDict in resultsArray)
NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [internalDict
objectForKey:#"from_user_name"]]);
----> return dict; // i need this dictionary of json twitter data
}
else
NSLog(#"Twitter error, HTTP response: %i", [urlResponse statusCode]);
}];
}
Thnx in advance!
I feel like I've written a ton of this async code lately.
- (void)tweetFetcherWithCompletion:(void(^)(NSDictionary *dict, NSError *error))completion
{
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=iOS%205&rpp=5&with_twitter_user_id=true&result_type=recent"];
TWRequest *request = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:URL parameters:nil requestMethod:TWRequestMethodGET];
[request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error) {
if ([urlResponse statusCode] == 200) {
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *dict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:0 error:&error];
if (error) {
completion(nil, error);
return;
}
//resultsArray return an array [of dicitionaries<tweets>];
NSArray* resultsArray = [dict objectForKey:#"results"];
for (NSDictionary* internalDict in resultsArray)
NSLog(#"%#", [internalDict objectForKey:#"from_user_name"]);
completion(dict, nil);
}
else {
NSLog(#"Twitter error, HTTP response: %i", [urlResponse statusCode]);
completion(nil, error);
}
}];
}
So, instead of calling self.tweetDict = [self TweetFetcher];, you would call it this way.
[self tweetFetcherWithCompletion:^(NSDictionary *dict, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// Handle Error Somehow
}
self.tweetDict = dict;
// Everything else you need to do with the dictionary.
}];
