Alamofire how to set timeout

Question

I am working on my first iOS app and to make network calls I am using Alamofire. It is nice and easy. I implemented Alamofire in separate class, lets call it WebserviceHelper. now I was using this class from all over the application. but now I want to set the timeout.

here is the snippet on how I have made function in WebserviceHelper class.

  static func requestService(methodName: String, method: HTTPMethod, parameters: Parameters, headers: HTTPHeaders? = nil, showLoaderFlag: Bool, viewController: UIViewController, completion: @escaping (_ success: JSON) -> Void) {

    let reachability = Reachability()!

    /*
     checking for internet connection
     */
    if(reachability.connection != .none) {

        /*
         Showing Loader here
         */
        if(showLoaderFlag){
        ViewControllerUtils.customActivityIndicatory(viewController.view, startAnimate: true)
        }

        print("Web Service Url - \(Common.URL+methodName)")
        print("Parameters - \(parameters)")

        /*
         Request configure
         */

        Alamofire.request(Common.URL+methodName, method: method, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers) .responseJSON { response in

here you can see it is quiet easy to use it. I have used many ways to set timeout but it is not working for me. this is what I tried. and also this link but nothing really worked for me.

Can you guys help me in setting Timeout using Alamofire.

the related link is not working in latest version. Please do not mark it as latest version — A.s.ALI, Feb 01 '19 at 11:49
Mayur Karmur is correct. I also wanted to add, however, that you shouldn't be using reachability as a precheck for your network calls. Apple specifically recommends against that practice, as reachability is not that exact. — Jon Shier, Feb 04 '19 at 22:19

You should try URLRequest which is working in latest Alamofire as I have already implemented it. See the following code:

guard let url = URL(string: "") else { return }
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
urlRequest.timeoutInterval = TimeInterval(exactly: 30)!  // Set timeout in request of 30 seconds

Alamofire.request(urlRequest).response { (dataResponse) in

}

I hope this will help you.
