PromiseKit is a Swift and Objective-C library implementing promises to simplify asynchronous programming. It supports iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, Linux, and Android with CocoaPods, Carthage, and SwiftPM integration.
Use cases
- handle async network requests in Swift
- avoid callback hell in iOS apps
- combine multiple async tasks with when()
- chain asynchronous operations with error handling
- write readable async code in Objective-C
When to choose
- you're on Swift 5.4 or earlier without async/await
- you need Objective-C bridging for promises
- you maintain legacy iOS/macOS codebases using CocoaPods
When to avoid
- you're using Swift 5.5+ where async/await is built in
- you're starting a new project with modern Swift concurrency
- you need a cross-language async runtime outside Apple platforms
