In the vast realm of iOS development, the ability to efficiently handle file transfers is a boon. The open-source library, KuaiChuan, stands out as a robust solution for developers aiming to incorporate file transfer features swiftly in their iOS applications. This library is a powerhouse, offering a range of features designed to streamline file transfer operations while maintaining a high level of customization.

  3. Resume Transfers: The library supports resuming file transfers from where they left off, a crucial feature in ensuring data integrity and user satisfaction.
  4. Encrypted Transfers: Secure your file transfers with encryption, ensuring the data remains protected during transit.

Engage with KuaiChuan's Swift interface to initiate and manage file transfers. Here’s a snippet showcasing how one might set up a file transfer:

import UIKit
import KuaiChuan

class ViewController: ViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var progressView: UIProgressView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Instantiate the file transfer manager
        let manager = KuaiChuanManager()

        // Assign a delegate for transfer events
        manager.delegate = self

        // Kickstart the file transfer
        manager.upload(
            fileURL: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/file"),
            to: "http://example.com/upload",
            progress: { progress in
                // Update the progress view
                self.progressView.progress = progress
            }
        )
    }

    // File transfer delegate
    func kuaichuan(_ manager: KuaiChuanManager, didFinishUpload file: URL) {
        // Celebrate the completed transfer
        print("File transfer completed: \(file)")
    }
}
