RestKit and AFNetworking 2.0

[Rodrigo]

Hi all,

Does the RestKit have a roadmap to port RestKit to be AFNetworking 2.0 compliant?

AFNetworking 2.0 is a major update released last week, which supports new iOS 7 features such as NSURLSessions.

Yes, updating to work with AFN 2.0 is on my short list of priorities

Hi Blake, 

I was digging into this and was hoping to switch to a dev branch which utilized AFN 2.0, but didn't see anything on the github repo yet - any thoughts on when this upgrade might be consumable?

Thanks for all your hard work on the project!

Mike

[Blake Watters]

This branch will appear within the next week or so. I am just getting around to focusing on it.

[Daniel Wang]

Hi Blake, echoing Mike's request from earlier -- any update on this?

[Georgios Andr]

+1

any time schedule for the AFNetworking 2.0 ?

Thank you Blake.

[Rodrigo]

+1 on this too.

[Phạm Quang]

+1 on this too.

[Daniel Wang]

Blake, I noticed the afnetworking2 branch on github - will check it out tonight or tomorrow.  Just want to say thank you for your hard work on this project.

[Scott Weinert]

+1 on this.

Any word on this?

Safe to play with or might burn your hands?

[Simon Burbidge]

Hi Blake. Any news on this update? We've got requirements to use AFNetworking 2.0, but RestKit is such a major (and fantastic) part of the project that its not possible to update AFN.

Thanks!

[Blake Watters]

Still a work in progress. I am tied up with other things but this will be on top of my priority list soon

Doesn't look like this is going to happen, I've been waiting a while now to hear any news, looks like I'm going to have to stop using RestKit, very disappointed I really liked it

Restkit is great, but is there any progress on updating to AFNetworking 2.0? Is that project no longer in the works? 

[Dan Morrow]

Haven't heard anything about this since February. Is there any information about when we might see AFNetworking in RestKit?

[Sumit Savla]

Hi Blake... any update on this ? 

I like restkit but not having afnetworking 2.0 is show stopper! 

[BrendanG]

Question to anyone who is going through similar issue. I'm probably going to remove RestKit from my project due to the need for AFNetworking 2.0, what are you going to use to replace RestKit. At this point I'm considering a combination of Mantle and AFNetworking 2.0. Thoughts? Recommendations? 

[Sixten Otto]

I've considered going down essentially the path that Blake had planned, though perhaps more drastically: hacking out just the results mapping parts of RestKit, and reworking them as a mechanism implementing AFURLResponseSerialization. This under the theory that most of the response mapping setup in the app could remain relatively intact, and that we have no intention of moving away from Core Data for these apps.

But I'm not really sure what the scope of work would be, nor had I reached the point of desperation where I needed to embark on seriously researching it.

[PT]

Also in no rush, the Restkit team still issuing updates, I have no other requirement for AFNetworking currently, Restkit as it stands is simply a perfect fit for my current and planned apps and I cannot find another product that fits half as well. If I had to move reworking Restkit along the lines started in the experimental upgrade branch as Sixten Otto suggests would be worth considering as an alternative to implementing Mantle or another product and would be happy to collaborate on this.

[Dave Grundgeiger]

We'd like to use RestKit in our apps, but can't because we also use a framework that depends on AFNetworking 2. We're interested in paying a RestKit contributor to make this change and shepherd it through the process to get it into the main trunk. If you're interested, please send a quote via private reply.

Hi Blake, is RestKit still being supported? I have seen where you started migration to AFN 2.0 as experimental but curious whether you have plans to complete it? I'm either considering doing it myself and creating my own fork, or simply not using it. I understand if not, but would appreciate a response. 

Thanks!
