Is it possible to use async/await inside a method of another method?

Answer from AI

In Swift (iOS), the async/await construct is used for working with asynchronous code. The method inside which you want to use await must itself be declared as async.

You cannot simply call await inside a regular (synchronous) method without declaring the method as async. However, you can call an asynchronous method inside another asynchronous method.

Example:

func fetchData() async -> String {
    // asynchronous operation
    return "data"
}

func process() async {
    let data = await fetchData()
    print(data)
}

If you need to call asynchronous code from a synchronous method, you can use Task:

func syncMethod() {
    Task {
        let data = await fetchData()
        print(data)
    }
}
