Solution

  • You need to encode the urlString to handle the whitespaces. Use addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters:) method on the urlString, i.e.

    let str = "https://omsoftware.org/sorora/public/profile_images/kapil borkar_199.jpeg"

if let urlString = str.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed), let url = URL(string: urlString) {
    //add your code here...
}

    addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters:)

    Returns a new string made from the receiver by replacing all characters not in the specified set with percent-encoded characters.
