I'm trying to understand a design pattern for accessing the isolated state held in an actor type from within a SwiftUI view. Take this naive code: actor Model: ObservableObject { @Published var num: Int = 0 func updateNumber(_ newNum: Int) { self.num = newNum } } struct ContentView: View { @StateObject var model = Model() var body: some View { Text("\(model.num)") // <-- Compiler error: Actor-isolated property 'num' can not be referenced from the main actor Button("Update number") { Task.detached() { await model.updateNumber(1) } } } } Understandably I get the compiler error Actor-isolated property 'num' can not be referenced from the main actor when I try and access the isolated value. Yet I can't understand how to display this data in a view. I wonder if I need a ViewModel that observes the actor, and updates itself on the main thread, but get compile time error Actor-isolated property '$num' can not be referenced from a non-isolated context. class ViewModel: ObservableObject { let model: Model @Published var num: Int let cancellable: AnyCancellable init() { let model = Model() self.model = model self.num = 0 self.cancellable = model.$num // <-- compile time error `Actor-isolated property '$num' can not be referenced from a non-isolated context` .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .sink { self.num = $0 } } } Secondly, imagine if this code did compile, then I would get another error when clicking the button that the interface is not being updated on the main thread...again I'm not sure how to effect this from within the actor?
