In my code i am displaying the message on tableView in ios swift uikit using actor, the table view delegate methods will call synchronously but the data from actor isolated property i am getting using Task method with in that tableview delegates synchronous execution, now the problem is the tableview delegates method synchronous execution is not waiting for the Task method to wait, can any one suggest on this please

Thanks for this complex but clear tutorial in actors demo if have an error: 'Task' cannot be constructed because it has no accessible initializers

Hi @michel, thank you for the comment! ☺️. Where are you facing that issue? Xcode version?

You should use Xcode 13 beta 3. In the past, it was async { ... }, let me know if that's the issue.

@@swiftandtips Yes it works !

Great video ! Thank you so much !

One question, why do we need to mark async for the newMessage method, but do not need to do the same for the history method? Shouldn’t the methods in the actor class be automatically in async context ? Thanks.

Hi David, you are right! That was unnecessary from my end 😅. I discovered that once I finished the recording hehe. Good catch!

[@davidhere_23]

@@swiftandtips I see. Thanks for the information. Great video by the way. 😁

Do I understand​ correctly, that all these concurrency issues (data racing etc.) are theoretically possible only if your system has more then one CPU?

[@swiftandtips]

This actually could happen in one CPU with concurrent threads too!
