having this protocol
public protocol URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol {
func send(_ message: URLSessionWebSocketTask.Message, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void)
func receive(completionHandler: @escaping (Result<URLSessionWebSocketTask.Message, Error>) -> Void)
func sendPing(pongReceiveHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void)
func cancel(with closeCode: URLSessionWebSocketTask.CloseCode, reason: Data?)
func resume()
}
and conforming to it in this part
extension URLSessionWebSocketTask: URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol {}
works fine, but I need to have delegate property in the protocol so modified the protocol to this
public protocol URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol {
func send(_ message: URLSessionWebSocketTask.Message, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void)
func receive(completionHandler: @escaping (Result<URLSessionWebSocketTask.Message, Error>) -> Void)
func sendPing(pongReceiveHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void)
func cancel(with closeCode: URLSessionWebSocketTask.CloseCode, reason: Data?)
func resume()
var delegate: URLSessionTaskDelegate? { get set}
}
now the compiler tells that
Protocol 'URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol' requires 'delegate' to be available in iOS 13.0.0 and newer
the target minimun version is set to iOS 13, so it should be necessary to add the @available(iOS 13.0, *), but added any way and there is not change the compilers keeps telling that protocol requires delegate to be available in iOS 13. URLWebSocketTask does not have a delegate property per se it inherits from URLSessionTask that have a delegate Property of type URLSessionTaskDelegate and URLWebSocketTaskDelegate comforms to URlSessionTaskDelegate.
so how I could add a delegate to the protocol and the conformance does not show that error.
The URLSessionWebSocketTask is-a NSURLSessionTask, which has delegate only (!!) since iOS 15:
@interface NSURLSessionTask : NSObject <NSCopying, NSProgressReporting>
@property (nullable, retain) id <NSURLSessionTaskDelegate> delegate
API_AVAILABLE(macos(12.0), ios(15.0), watchos(8.0), tvos(15.0));
so if you want to fit that API contract, you need to do same in your protocol, like:
public protocol URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol {
// ... other methods here
@available(iOS 15, *) // << here !!
var delegate: URLSessionTaskDelegate? { get set }
}
of course alternate is to make extension limited to iOS15+, like
@available(iOS 15, *)
extension URLSessionWebSocketTask: URLSessionWebSocketTaskProtocol {
}
