AFNetworking 1.3 shipped with RestKit does not support IPv6

Apple recently started to refuse apps that connect to a non-ipv6 enabled backend servers, and also networking tools such as AFNetworking versions prior to 3.0 do not support IPv6, so even if the server has been updated to support IPv6 we need to to update our networking tools too.

we have an app that uses Reskit 0.27.0 which is bundled with AFNetworking 1.3, is it possible to update RestKit's AFNetworking version to 3 or should we remove RestKit from the app?

IPv6 is supported by NSURLConnection, and hence AFNetworking and RestKit. IPv6 support is generally more about using a domain name rather than an explicit IP address anyway. So, if you have issues, they lie somewhere other than in the networking library used by RestKit.

Check the Apple docs for related info.

As for the migration to AFN3, it's hard. Some people are / have been working on it, and there are forks with that work. They can be found via the RestKit issues related to the topic.
