Actually, I make a point in my iOS projects to avoid third party libraries wherever possible. The first-party SDK is good enough that the dependency cost of libraries like Alamofire is usually not worth it.
I had to do some Android development not too long ago, and I felt like I had entered some crazy la-la land until I found a bunch of third party infrastructure like Kotlin, RXJava and a pile of libraries to make life bearable.

DRY can be taken to extremes. It is ok to sometimes write code yourself than to tie yourself and depend on some other library by "some guy". The whole NPM "left pad" debacle is proof of that.
