We have use SDWebImage instead of AFNetworking to handle memory warning.
You can find swift code from below link.
here is below code:
[imageView sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg"] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"]]; // Some time may possible that this cause memory warning than use below code to overcome(This causes less memory warning than AFNetworking.) - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning { [super didReceiveMemoryWarning]; // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. [[[SDWebImageManager sharedManager] imageCache] clearDisk]; [[[SDWebImageManager sharedManager] imageCache] clearMemory]; }
