Try to download a piece of data from internet with the following line:

var totalData: NSData?
totalData = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)

where url is

http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Annie+Hall&y=&plot=short&r=json

but totalData become nil. Any idea why? It happens only in Xcode 7, not before.

Use the `NSData` initializer that also takes options and an error. Then you can log the resulting error to see the cause of the issue. – rmaddy Sep 28 '15 at 20:59
This is becoming an annoyingly common question. – Abizern Sep 28 '15 at 21:06

It is not Xcode, it is iOS and the version. – zaph Sep 28 '15 at 21:28
