Introduction

Xniffer is a non-intrusive framework for intercepting outgoing requests and their responses between your app and any external service for debugging and performance monitoring purposes.

Inspired by Response detective.

Setup

In order to work, the Xniffer needs to be added as a middleware between your URLSession and the Internet. After the initial setup, a window will be displayed on top of the UI that will show all the current requests and their latency.

Basic usage

let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
// The setup method adds the Xniffer's custom protocol as a middleware.
Xniffer.setup(with: configuration)
let session = URLSession(configuration: configuration)

Now we can start using this session instance for our requests!

Using Alamofire

If you are using Alamofire you can start using the Xniffer by initializing your Manager with the following:

let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
configuration.httpAdditionalHeaders = SessionManager.defaultHTTPHeaders
Xniffer.setup(with: configuration)
let sessionManager = Alamofire.SessionManager(configuration: configuration)

UI Modes

The Xniffer currently supports three modes which could be used at the same time, .window, .console and .custom. The default value is only.window but this can be changed easily on the Xniffer.setup(configuration: URLSessionConfiguration, modes: [XnifferUI] = [.window]).

Each one of this uses a different implementation of the XnifferObserver.

• .window : Displays a window on top of the status bar which can be expanded to display a list of the profiled requests. This is the default value.
• .console : Prints the results on the Xcode console.
• .custom : This one receives a closure of type () -> () so you can use your own implementation of the XnifferObserver.

Requirements

• iOS 9.0+
• Xcode 9.0+
