Ultra-Constrained networks and URLSession
When setting new entitlements com.apple.developer.networking.carrier-constrained.appcategory and com.apple.developer.networking.carrier-constrained.app-optimized, I have a question about how URLSession should behave. I notice we have a way to specify whether a Network connection should allow ultra-constrained paths via NWParameters allowUltraConstrainedPaths: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network/nwparameters/allowultraconstrainedpaths There does not appear to be a similar property on URLSessionConfiguration. In an ultra-constrained (eg. satellite) network, should we expect all requests made through an URLSession to fail? Does all network activity when ultra-constrained need to go through a NWConnection or NetworkConnection specifically configured with allowUltraConstrainedPaths, or can URLSession ever be configured to allow ultra-constrained paths?
