Many of the most common errors in iOS are handled automatically by the Swift language, and many more can be handled automatically through libraries you choose to integrate into your projects. However, sometimes it’s necessary to handle an error yourself, which can be rather difficult if you don’t know how to do it properly or what types of errors you should be expecting to see in your code at any given time. In this article, I’ll go over some common error handling approaches in Swift, as well as some helpful functions provided by the Swift language that make error handling easier and more understandable in general.
