NSURLSession not working on tvOS?

I have this method to get the contents of an URL on TV:

-(void)placeGetRequestForDeveloperID:(NSString *)developerID andRunOnCompletion:(void (^)(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error))ourBlock {

  NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=%@&entity=software", developerID];

  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
  NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

  NSURLSessionConfiguration *config = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
  NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:config];

  [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:ourBlock];

}

The completion block is never called.

NSURLSession is allowed on tvOS. Is there something I have to set on the project, like entitlements or something on the Info.plist to make this work? Is this code OK?

Thanks!

You have to resume the task to start the API call.

You can try the API call as like below too.

    NSURLSessionConfiguration *config = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
      NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:config];



  NSURLSessionDataTask *apiCall = [session dataTaskWithRequest:urlRequest completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {

             NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];

}];

[apiCall resume];

By default, when you create the task, it's suspended. You have to start the task by calling resume.

[[session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:ourBlock] resume]
