Swift: Actors Introduction (2023, Xcode 13) - iOS

In this video we will do a brief introduction of Actors in Swift. Recently introduced alongside async await patterns, actors help simplify concurrency in your iOS projects. They help to synchronize calls, enforce threads/queues, and a whole lot more. We will work in Xcode 13 with the latest version of Swift.

"we're gonna call this 'Actor' because we're super creative on this channel" got me 😂😂

[CombuskenKid]

I'm not using async await for our app yet because of backwards compatibility of previous ios versions, however I have used it in personal projects and I love it.
Actors seem really powerful so thanks for the video, seeing a new concept pop up on my recommended is a good way to learn when you don't have time to watch all the wwdc videos.

Please add more detailed tutorial for this bro! Its amazing… i want to learn more from you how to implement actors practically in real project

[DoubleCheapBurger]

Love the content and your channel’s consistency, bro! 👍🏼

Do we have to use async/await with actors? or can we use actors without it?

[AmitBiswastunebox]

Hi Afraz I think we need more video regarding Async, Actor.

[RXGLine]

Actor is more complex than using serial queue and async.

[sshnee]

Hey, thanks for the video! Just a little note (hopefully I'm not mistaken): the queue that you've created is serial by default so there's no need to use sync

[dream_emulator]

Question...


Thanks, great vids 🙏

[njunior]

Thanks, man..
Keep up the good work! 🤟🏻

race condition in serial queue? im not sure there was any problem, if you store a, b, c and then want to get c, your task will be executed in order(because that is a Serial Queue, first in first out), and you will get a right c value.

almost 46K subs! You're going to the moon, baby!

[xBiscuit]

So this basically replaces the semaphores? Also your teaching is very great.

[MrTalhakhan]

so basically actor encapsulates a class and convert every method to async?

[seamieshame]

Is there a reason you did not define User as a struct to get the initialiser for free, remove mutation etc? Is there some limitation here around actor or async await?

[nasir]

I just like to know how the AsyncStream can replace Combine' Pub/sub pattern, If you can make a video on it, that would be really helpful.

Also please include ads in your video, just to support you I ll watch entire ads on your videos. Thanks

Hey! Could you please do a video on how to add swipe actions to a collection view? I searched everywhere but I can’t find it 😭

Playground execution failed:

error: execution stopped with unexpected state.
error: Execution was interrupted.
The process has been left at the point where it was interrupted, use "thread return -x" to return to the state before expression evaluation.

I get this warning:No 'async' operations occur within 'await' expression. Xcode 13.2
