Start debugging iOS network calls like a wizard, without extra code! Wormholy makes debugging quick and reliable.
Features:
- [x] No code to write and no imports.
- [x] Record all app traffic that uses
NSURLSession. - [x] Reveal the content of all requests, responses, and headers simply by shaking your phone!
- [x] No headaches with SSL certificates on HTTPS calls.
- [x] Find, isolate, and fix bugs quickly.
- [x] Swift & Objective-C compatibility.
- [x] Also works with external libraries like
Alamofire&AFNetworking. - [x] Ability to blacklist hosts from being recorded using the array
ignoredHosts. - [x] Ability to export API requests as a Postman collection.
- [x] Ability to share cURL representations of API requests.
- [x] Programmatically enable or disable Wormholy for specific session configurations.
- [x] Control the shake gesture activation with the
shakeEnabledproperty. - [x] Filter responses by status code for precise debugging.
- [x] View request stats, including HTTP methods breakdown, status code distribution, error types, response size stats, and more.
Requirements
- iOS 16.0+ (Need an older version? Please use version 1.7.x)
- Xcode 15+
- Swift 5
Usage
Integrating Wormholy into your project is simple, and it works like magic! Shake your device or simulator to access Wormholy. There's no need to import the library into your code.
<u>It is recommended to install it only in debug mode and not integrate it into production. Please remove it before sending your apps to production.</u> The easiest way to do this is with CocoaPods:
pod 'Wormholy', :configurations => ['Debug']
You can also integrate Wormholy using the Swift Package Manager!
Configuration Options
- Ignored Hosts: Specify hosts to be excluded from logging using
Wormholy.ignoredHosts. This is useful for ignoring traffic to certain domains. - Logging Limit: Control the number of logs retained with
Wormholy.limit. This helps manage memory usage by limiting the amount of data stored. - Default Filter: Set a default filter for the search box with
Wormholy.defaultFilterto streamline your debugging process. - Enable/Disable: Use
Wormholy.setEnabled(_:)to toggle request tracking globally. You can also enable or disable it for specificURLSessionConfigurationinstances usingWormholy.setEnabled(_:sessionConfiguration:). - Shake Gesture: Control the activation of Wormholy via shake gesture with
Wormholy.shakeEnabled. - Status Check: Use
Wormholy.isWormholyEnabled()to inspect whether global Wormholy tracking is currently enabled.
Example Configuration
func configureWormholy() {
Wormholy.ignoredHosts = ["example.com", "analytics.internal"]
Wormholy.limit = 200
Wormholy.defaultFilter = "status:500"
Wormholy.shakeEnabled = true
// Global tracking for URLSession traffic.
Wormholy.setEnabled(true)
// Use the session-specific API when you want to override behavior
// for a particular configuration instance.
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
Wormholy.setEnabled(false, sessionConfiguration: configuration)
let session = URLSession(configuration: configuration)
_ = session
}
Notes on Session Configurations
Wormholy automatically hooks URLSessionConfiguration.default and URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral.
Use Wormholy.setEnabled(_:sessionConfiguration:) when you want to explicitly enable or disable Wormholy for a specific configuration instance before creating the URLSession:
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral
Wormholy.setEnabled(false, sessionConfiguration: configuration)
let session = URLSession(configuration: configuration)
Background sessions are a separate case: Apple does not support custom URLProtocol classes with background URLSessionConfiguration, so Wormholy cannot be injected there via protocolClasses.
Notes on Ignored Hosts
Wormholy.ignoredHosts uses suffix matching on the request host.
For example, if you set:
Wormholy.ignoredHosts = ["example.com"]
Wormholy will ignore requests to both example.com and subdomains such as api.example.com.
Triggering Wormholy
If you prefer not to use the shake gesture, you can disable it using the environment variable WORMHOLY_SHAKE_ENABLED = NO.
To trigger Wormholy manually from another point in your app without using the shake gesture, post the wormholy_fire notification:
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "wormholy_fire"), object: nil)
By following these steps and configurations, you can effectively integrate Wormholy into your development workflow, enhancing your ability to debug network requests efficiently.
