I have an app that has been using the following code to down load audio files:
if let url = URL(string: episode.fetchPath()) {
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "get"
let task = session.downloadTask(with: request)
And then the following completionHandler code:
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, downloadTask: URLSessionDownloadTask, didFinishDownloadingTo location: URL) {
try FileManager.default.moveItem(at: location, to: localUrl)
In the spirit of modernization, I'm trying to update this code to use async await:
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "get"
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)
try data.write(to: localUrl, options: [.atomicWrite, .completeFileProtection])
Both these code paths use the same url value. Both return the same Data blobs (they return the same hash value)
Unfortunately the second code path (using await) introduces a problem. When the audio is playing and the iPhone goes to sleep, after 15 seconds, the audio stops. This problem does not occur when running the first code (using the didFinish completion handler)
Same data, stored in the same URL, but using different URLSession calls. I would like to use async/await and not have to experience the audio ending after just 15 seconds of the device screen being asleep. any guidance greatly appreciated.
