Question: how to get NSURLSessionConfiguration used by Parse

[oferRounds]

I would like set it protcolClasses, so I could monitor the netwrok request using this library here:

https://github.com/kasketis/netfox

by following this suggestion:

If you're using CocoaPods (which you probably should be), you can modify -[PFURLSessionCommandRunner _urlSessionConfigurationForApplicationId:clientKey:] to add any additional configuration you'd like.

Allowing an easier public method to configure the URL session would be interesting, and probably falls under the scope of #570.

Thanks!
I actually saw this method, and I am using CocoaPods. The thing is that I'm not sure how can I modify it, as my other 3rd party libaray is not embedded via Cocoa Pods (but included in my app main project). So I can't import it there...

Any thoughts?

And yes, that would be great if you could add a public method to get it.

You could go the classic method swizzling route, though that does feel very hacky at that point. You could also fork Parse, and use your own fork of parse as your 'source of truth' for all of our dependencies (e.g. pod Parse :git => "https://github.com/oferRounds/Parse-SDK-iOS-OSX.git").

It definitely doesn't help that you're trying to tightly couple the network intercepting of a separate library to that of an unrelated library...

We do have PFNetworkWillSendURLRequestNotification and PFNetworkDidReceiveURLResponseNotification as events sent through NSNotificationCenter that you could observe as well.

@oferRounds, I just added some preliminary APIs for configuring URL sessions & retry attempts that we use in the SDK, in #570. Let me know what you think, and if you have any thoughts please don't hesitate to share!

Hi @richardjrossiii

I just updated my project to use 1.12.0 release.

Maybe I miss it, but I still don't see any available option to update the NSURLSessionConfiguration's protocolClasses.
Am I missing it, or is it still not available?

Thanks a lot again!

[richardjrossiii]

@oferRounds We have removed that feature for the time being, as we decided that this sort of thing would be better configured by forking the SDK. I forgot to get back to you with this decision, and I apologize.

(Another option would be to swizzle NSURLSessionConfiguration and add those protocols to all NSURLSessions created by the system).

@richardjrossiii - thanks! No problem :)
