Xcode 6.1.1 is quite an old version of Xcode, and using a newer version is recommended for the latest Swift language features and updates. However, I'll provide some guidance on how to make a POST request using Swift in Xcode 6.1.1.

To make a POST request in Swift, you'll typically use the NSURLConnection class or the NSURLSession class, depending on the level of control and functionality you require. Below are examples for both methods:

  1. Using NSURLConnection:
swift
import UIKit func makePostRequest() { let url = NSURL(string: "https://example.com/api/endpoint") let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!) request.HTTPMethod = "POST" let postString = "key1=value1&key2=value2" // Your POST data here request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in if error != nil { println("Error: \(error)") return } // Process the response data if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse { if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 { if let responseData = data { let responseString = NSString(data: responseData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) println("Response: \(responseString)") } } else { println("HTTP Status Code: \(httpResponse.statusCode)") } } } task.resume() } // Call the function to make the POST request makePostRequest()
  1. Using NSURLSession (Preferred method in newer versions of Xcode):
swift
import UIKit func makePostRequest() { let url = NSURL(string: "https://example.com/api/endpoint") let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!) request.HTTPMethod = "POST" let postString = "key1=value1&key2=value2" // Your POST data here request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) let sessionConfig = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration() let session = NSURLSession(configuration: sessionConfig) let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in if error != nil { println("Error: \(error)") return } // Process the response data if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse { if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 { if let responseData = data { let responseString = NSString(data: responseData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) println("Response: \(responseString)") } } else { println("HTTP Status Code: \(httpResponse.statusCode)") } } } task.resume() } // Call the function to make the POST request makePostRequest()

Make sure to replace the url variable with the actual URL of the API endpoint you want to send the POST request to. Also, modify the postString variable to contain your POST data in the appropriate format (e.g., JSON, form-urlencoded, etc.).

Again, I strongly recommend using a more recent version of Xcode and Swift for the best development experience and access to the latest language features and frameworks.
