WalkthroughImplements cache-first, identity-aware error fallback in Flagsmith: on API fetch failure the client now checks identity-specific cached flags, then general cached flags (with TTL/no-cache validation), then defaultFlags before propagating errors; adds cache helpers, HTTP response date parsing, and comprehensive tests.

Replace try! with a throwing helper
The try! on Line 59 will crash the suite on bad fixture data and violates the force_try lint rule. Make this helper throw and propagate the error through the tests (they already declare throws), e.g.:
- private func createMockCachedResponse(for request: URLRequest, with flags: [Flag]) -> CachedURLResponse {
- let jsonData = try! JSONEncoder().encode(flags)
+ private func createMockCachedResponse(for request: URLRequest, with flags: [Flag]) throws -> CachedURLResponse {
+ let jsonData = try JSONEncoder().encode(flags)
let httpResponse = HTTPURLResponse(
url: request.url!,
statusCode: 200,
httpVersion: "HTTP/1.1",
headerFields: [
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Cache-Control": "max-age=300"
]
)!
return CachedURLResponse(response: httpResponse, data: jsonData)
}Then update call sites to try createMockCachedResponse(...). This clears the lint error and keeps failures reported as test failures instead of crashes.

In FlagsmithClient/Tests/APIErrorCacheFallbackTests.swift around lines 59 to 70,
the helper currently uses `try! JSONEncoder().encode(flags)` which will crash on
bad fixture data and violates the `force_try` lint rule; change the helper to be
a throwing function (e.g. add `throws` to its signature and use `try` instead of
`try!` when encoding), propagate the thrown error to callers (tests already
declare `throws`), and update all call sites to use `try
createMockCachedResponse(...)` so failures are reported as test failures rather
than runtime crashes.

| let expiredCachedResponse = CachedURLResponse(response: httpResponse, data: jsonData) | ||
| testCache.storeCachedResponse(expiredCachedResponse, for: mockRequest) |

Remove the second try!
Line 346 also uses try!, tripping the same lint rule. Because this test already throws, just use try:
- let jsonData = try! JSONEncoder().encode(cachedFlags)
+ let jsonData = try JSONEncoder().encode(cachedFlags)📝 Committable suggestion

In FlagsmithClient/Tests/APIErrorCacheFallbackTests.swift around lines 346 to
348, the second use of `try!` when encoding `cachedFlags` should be removed;
since this test function is already throwing, replace `try!
JSONEncoder().encode(cachedFlags)` with `try JSONEncoder().encode(cachedFlags)`
so the thrown error propagates instead of force-unwrapping.

173-190: LGTM! Clean cache-first error fallback.The priority logic is clear and correct: cached flags take precedence over default flags, and errors are only propagated when both are unavailable.
192-215: LGTM! Identity-aware fallback chain is well-structured.The priority correctly attempts identity-specific cache first, then general cache, then default flags, before propagating the error.
304-317: LGTM! Parameterized directives are correctly handled.The implementation correctly extracts the directive name by splitting on
=and;, which handles parameterized forms likeno-cache="set-cookie"andno-store;max-age=0.
322-330: LGTM! Proper HTTP date parsing setup.The static date formatter follows best practices and uses the correct RFC 7231 format for HTTP
Dateheaders.
151-151: LGTM! Correct use of identity-aware error handler.Switching to
handleFlagsErrorForIdentityenables the multi-layer cache fallback for identity-specific requests.
