title: Any way to make "fire and forget" API call?
body: <p>I am looking to implement a relatively straight-forward feature where I make an call to an API the first time the user opens the app. However, unlike most circumstances where I am waiting for the API to provide confirmation or some information, I just want to make a "fire and forget" call and move forward with other processing.</p>
  
  <p>I have explored <code>AFNetworking</code> and referencing Apple's official <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/NetworkingOverview/WorkingWithHTTPAndHTTPSRequests/WorkingWithHTTPAndHTTPSRequests.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> on this matter, and did not discover a quick way to make fire and forget API calls. I assume this should be relatively simple to accomplish - any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
