(DOCSP-39162): Swift: Change baseURL during runtime (#3238)
## Pull Request Info Jira ticket: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCSP-39162 - [Connect to an App Services App](https://preview-mongodbdacharyc.gatsbyjs.io/realm/DOCSP-39162/sdk/swift/app-services/connect-to-app-services-backend/#connect-to-a-specific-server): New "Connect to a Specific Server" section with baseURL info. New "Connect to a Different Server During Runtime" subsection with info about the new experimental API. Note for reviewer: the failing test is related to the MongoClient API. One operation is failing with a timeout. It all passes locally, so I'm inclined to think this is CI latency issues and we can disregard this failure. ### Reminder Checklist Before merging your PR, make sure to check a few things. - [x] Did you tag pages appropriately? - genre - meta.keywords - meta.description - [x] Describe your PR's changes in the Release Notes section - [x] Create a Jira ticket for related docs-app-services work, if any ### Release Notes - **Swift SDK** - Application Services/Connect to an App Services App: New "Connect to a Specific Server" section with baseURL info. New "Connect to a Different Server During Runtime" subsection with info about the new experimental API. ### Review Guidelines [REVIEWING.md](https://github.com/mongodb/docs-realm/blob/master/REVIEWING.md) --------- Co-authored-by: lindseymoore <71525840+lindseymoore@users.noreply.github.com>

Connect to a Specific Server
107+
----------------------------
108+
109+
By default, Atlas Device SDK connects to Atlas using the global ``baseURL``
110+
of ``https://services.cloud.mongodb.com``. In some cases, you may want to
111+
connect to a different server:
112+
113+
- Your App Services App uses :ref:`local deployment <local-deployment>`, and
114+
you want to connect directly to a local ``baseURL`` in your region.
115+
- You want to connect to an :ref:`Edge Server instance <edge-server-connect-from-client>`.
116+
117+
You can specify a ``baseURL`` in the
118+
:swift-sdk:`AppConfiguration <Extensions/AppConfiguration.html>`:
119+
120+
.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/code/start/RealmApp.snippet.custom-base-url.swift
121+
:language: swift
122+
123+
Connect to a Different Server During Runtime
124+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
125+
126+
.. versionadded:: 10.50.0
127+
128+
In some cases, you might want to change the ``baseURL`` while the app is
129+
running. For example, you might want to roam between Edge Servers, or
130+
move from an App Services connection to an Edge Server connection. To change
131+
the ``baseURL`` during runtime, call the ``app.updateBaseUrl(to: )`` method:
132+
133+
.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/code/start/RealmApp.snippet.change-base-url.swift
134+
:language: swift
135+
136+
This API is experimental, so you must use the experimental import in the file
137+
where you want to use this API:
138+
139+
.. literalinclude:: /examples/generated/code/start/RealmApp.snippet.import-experimental.swift
140+
:language: swift
141+
142+
If you want to change the ``baseURL`` after you have logged in a user and
143+
have opened a synced database, the app must perform a
144+
:ref:`client reset <ios-client-reset>`. Perform these steps in your code:
145+
146+
1. :ref:`Pause the Sync session <swift-suspend-sync-session>`.
147+
2. Update the ``baseURL`` by calling the ``app.updateBaseUrl(to: )`` method.
148+
3. Authenticate and log the user in again with the new ``baseURL``.
149+
4. Open a synced database pulling data from the new server.
150+
151+
Both the server and the client must be online for the user to authenticate and
152+
connect to the new server. If the server is not online or the client does not
153+
have a network connection, the user cannot authenticate and open the database.
