Converting callback-heavy networking to Swift Concurrency can push cancellation, isolation, and scheduling issues into production — many of these problems only appear under real load.
- Audit
actorboundaries: useactorfor long‑lived mutable caches and reserve@MainActorfor UI‑critical code to avoid unexpected main‑thread serialization. - Treat
Task.detachedas an escape hatch; preferTaskGroupfor structured parallelism so cancellation and priority are more likely to propagate predictably. - Bridge incrementally with
withCheckedThrowingContinuationshims and gate changes behind feature flags so you can roll back quickly if needed. - Add
XCTestasynctests that assert cancellation behavior, and correlate test failures withOSSignposterspans and Instruments traces during pilot rollouts.
When modules mix concurrency models, prefer incremental, observable rollouts unless you can audit and instrument the full call chain end‑to‑end.
Callouts to use: TaskGroup, OSSignposter, and Instruments Time Profiler for measurement and correlation.
