How to Convert Legacy async code to use Combine using Swift and iOS

💡In the previous post, we learned how to convert the existing legacy async structure to the async-await mechanism. If you haven't read that yet, I strongly recommend going through it. In this post, we will see how to convert legacy async code to use the Combine for performing asynchronous operations

AsyncSequence in Swift

Apple introduced the AsyncSequence in Swift 5.5. This is one of the major features released in this Swift version to improve the Swift concurrency. In today's post, we are going to take a look at what AsyncSequence are and how you can make your own custom async sequence in

Running async network operations in parallel on iOS using async-await

Running async network operations in parallel on iOS using async-await

Running parallel network operations on iOS was not always a smooth process. I remember that at my previous jobs, developers opted to use either third-party libraries or DispatchGroup to trigger parallel requests. These solutions had their own pros and cons. Using DispatchGroup in the code was tedious and its block-based

Understanding the async behavior

Understanding the async behavior

Handling async behavior is tricky. I was caught into same gotcha when I first started dealing with async code few years back. It's useful behavior in most of the programming applications, especially when we're dealing with heavy or network-based operation. So you cannot really escape from it, so why not
