Async Workflows

Read Original

This technical article and accompanying demo code detail how to implement sophisticated asynchronous workflows for iOS/macOS apps using Apple's NSOperation and NSOperationQueue. It covers key techniques like creating dependent operations, passing data with a thread-safe session, tracking progress with NSProgress, implementing cancellation, and enabling background execution. The workflows are applicable to tasks like user onboarding, file management, web service requests, and database operations.
