I start to learn developing IOS apps with Swift. I want to ask something. I always use libraries like 'Moya' or 'Alamofire' to request API. What do you think should i use libraries or is that enough ?

Is there by chance a WebSocket framework that uses Swift?

Great video Brian.  
I am looking to do something similar. I have a ride sharing app where the rider makes a payment through PayPal and the driver gets paid through PayPal as well. The payment made from the rider is working perfectly but somehow having an issue getting the payout to the driver to work in swift. The way it was done in Android was, at the touch of a button and the balance owing to the driver in a text view, a post request is sent through Firebase functions to PayPal ... I have sent to your email the code on how it is done through Android - I need help how to do this through Swift.
PLEASE HELP ~ Thanks in advance ~. lizgcanada
