Yes, I have experience using GCD (Grand Central Dispatch). GCD is a low-level API in iOS for organizing asynchronous and concurrent task execution.
With GCD, you can create queues (serial or concurrent) and dispatch code blocks to be executed on a background thread or the main thread.
Example of usage:
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
// Long background task
let result = heavyComputation()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// UI update on the main thread
self.updateUI(with: result)
}
}
This allows not to block the main thread and improves the responsiveness of the application.
