Xcode 16.3 URLSession Bug - How to Fix and Prevent It

URLSession bug in Xcode 16.3? Here’s a reliable workaround.

If a URLSession is created as shown below and the code is running on the simulator, the network connection may be lost or the request may time out.

let session = URLSession.shared

1	let session = URLSession.shared

This issue will affect all URLSession clients only in simulator. Here is workaround for this:

let session: URLSession = {
    return URLSession(configuration: .ephemeral)
}()

let session: URLSession = {

return URLSession(configuration: .ephemeral)

}()

Happy Coding 🙂
