Can you give an example of a situation where message dispatching mechanism is used?

Answer from AI
The message dispatching mechanism in iOS is used, for example, when working with message queues in multithreaded programming.
Example: using DispatchQueue to perform tasks asynchronously.
When you need to update the UI from a background thread, message dispatching to the main thread is used:
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
// Perform background task
let data = fetchData()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// Update UI on the main thread
self.label.text = data
}
}
Here, the message dispatching mechanism ensures safe interaction between threads by sending tasks to the appropriate queues for execution.
