I want to implement this pattern in my app: let moc = ...newBackgroundContext() try await moc.perform { // test for existence of a specific object in the moc if !objectExists { let apiObject = await api.fetchObjectFromNetwork() // create managed object from apiObject try moc.save() } } Unfortunately, I am unable to await my network call because the moc.perform block is not async. So far, I've come up with this solution: let moc = ...newBackgroundContext() try await moc.perform { // test for existence of a specific object in the moc if !objectExists { Task { let apiObject = await api.fetchObjectFromNetwork() try await moc.perform { // create managed object from apiObject try moc.save() } } } } But it doesn't feel quite right. What do you think? Am I on the right track, or am I introducing unneeded complexity?
