Swift version: 5.6
Swift offers you two ways to run code on the main thread: GCD and performSelector(onMainThread:)
. The first option looks like this:
DispatchQueue.main.async { [unowned self] in
self.yourCodeHere()
}
The second option looks like this:
performSelector(onMainThread: #selector(yourCodeHere), with: nil, waitUntilDone: false)
The GCD option (the first one) has the advantage that you can write your code inline, whereas the second one requires a dedicated method you can call.
