I am trying to get data out of a set of nested for loops by appending to a list outside the function. The code below worked in other similar instances pulling different data out. Now though, the data prints to terminal but only "Addition 1" appends to rtrvList on print.

Any thoughts on why?

@Published var rtrvList:[String] = [String]()

func retrievePhoto() {

    let db = Firestore.firestore()

    self.rtrvList.append("Addition 1")

    db.collection("Users").document("4aoBgdvTJIZ82UgY0MiDW6fSluv2").collection("All_Profiles").getDocuments { snapshot, error in
        if error == nil && snapshot != nil {

            self.rtrvList.append("Addition 2")

            var paths = [String]()

            for doc in snapshot!.documents {
                paths.append(doc["H_1ref"] as! String)
                paths.append(doc["H_2ref"] as! String)
                paths.append(doc["H_3ref"] as! String)
                paths.append(doc["H_4ref"] as! String)
            }

            for path in paths {

                let pathRef = Storage.storage().reference()

                self.rtrvList.append("Addition 3")

                let fileRef = pathRef.child("4aoBgdvTJIZ82UgY0MiDW6fSluv2/All_Pictures/\(path)")

                self.rtrvList.append("Addition 4")

                fileRef.getData(maxSize: 1 * 1024 * 1024) { data, error in

                    self.rtrvList.append("Addition 5")

                    if error == nil && data != nil {

                        self.rtrvList.append("Addition 6")

                       if let image = UIImage(data: data!) {
                            DispatchQueue.main.async {

                                self.rtrvList.append("Addition 7")
                                self.rtrvPh.append(image)
                                print("imageAppended")

                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    print("RetrieveList - \(rtrvList)")
}

Ok thank you, I appended print statements and they fire all the way down through the stack. As for the refactoring, sorry if it is hard to read, I got it off of the internet as a template and usually customize from there but this was how I found it. I will try to sort it out.
