No response from URL in XML parsing - Alamofire Swift 5 - ios

Question

I am using XMLMapper with AlamoFire request to get response. URL is working fine on browsers but when I try to use in swift it skips the function. Even I cannot debug the response. Its before parsing, not getting any data or response from the URL. Any idea ??
func xmlParser() {
let urlXml = "https://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss"
Alamofire.request(urlXml, method: .get).responseXMLObject { (response: DataResponse<RSSFeed>) in
let rssFeed = response.result.value
print(rssFeed?.channel?.items?.first?.title ?? "nil")
}
}

It seems that something is wrong with your model. I managed to map the response from this link.
Try using the following structure and compare it with yours to see the difference:
class RSSFeed: XMLMappable {
var nodeName: String!
var channel: Channel?
required init?(map: XMLMap) {}
func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
channel <- map["channel"]
}
}
class Channel: XMLMappable {
var nodeName: String!
var title: String?
var link: URL?
var description: String?
var language: String?
var copyright: String?
var pubDate: String?
var lastBuildDate: String?
var category: String?
var generator: String?
var docs: URL?
var items: [Item]?
required init?(map: XMLMap) {}
func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
title <- map["title"]
link <- (map["link"], XMLURLTransform())
description <- map["description"]
language <- map["language"]
copyright <- map["copyright"]
pubDate <- map["pubDate"]
lastBuildDate <- map["lastBuildDate"]
category <- map["category"]
generator <- map["generator"]
docs <- (map["docs"], XMLURLTransform())
items <- map["item"]
}
}
class Item: XMLMappable {
var nodeName: String!
var title: String?
var link: URL?
var description: String?
var pubDate: String?
required init?(map: XMLMap) {}
func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
title <- map["title"]
link <- (map["link"], XMLURLTransform())
description <- map["description"]
pubDate <- map["pubDate"]
}
}
Hope this helps.
