Is it possible to implement a custom wrapper for methods with completion handlers using async/await syntax?

Yes, you can create a custom wrapper for methods with a completion handler using async/await, applying the constructs with withCheckedContinuation or withUnsafeContinuation. This allows transforming a callback-oriented API into an asynchronous one, convenient for use with async/await.
Example in Swift:
func fetchDataAsync() async throws -> Data {
return try await withCheckedThrowingContinuation { continuation in
fetchData { result in
switch result {
case .success(let data):
continuation.resume(returning: data)
case .failure(let error):
continuation.resume(throwing: error)
}
}
}
}
Here, fetchData is a method with a completion handler, and fetchDataAsync is its async/await wrapper.
