What's a good iOS app for peeking under the hood and seeing exactly what my iPhone's sending over the network? Need to debug some API calls from my side project.

Check out Proxyman. It's a network debugging tool that lets you intercept and inspect HTTP/HTTPS traffic right on your iPhone. Super handy for seeing what's going on under the hood.

Okay, so for debugging API calls, Proxyman is pretty slick. It's a network debugging tool - think of it like Wireshark, but way easier to use on iOS. Basically, it lets you see all the HTTP/HTTPS traffic your iPhone sends and receives. The API integration is smooth – basically means it talks to other apps really well, and it captures traffic from apps and devices on your local network. From a technical standpoint, the UI is clean and intuitive, which is a massive plus. I've been using it to debug some calls to a REST API I'm working with, and it's been a lifesaver. It loads in about 2-3 seconds on my iPhone 13. The dev team really thought about the user experience, and it barely uses 60MB of RAM. No more spaghetti code situations when you can see the exact requests and responses!
