While it’s undoubtedly a superior way to write asynchronous code, I generally stayed away from async/await-related tips, because no one could really use them yet. I wrote about the issues
few weeks ago. But not for much longer!
Xcode 13.2 beta was released yesterday with support for backward deployment of async/await all the way back to iOS 13. This is achieved by embedding the Swift runtime with the app, like it was done before Swift gained ABI stability.
If you’re open to trying it out for real in your projects, the Swift team is actively seeking feedback and issue reports during this beta period to help make the backport more stable. Just download Xcode 13.2 beta and try async/await features on your iOS 13 or iOS 14 device.
