Issue being fixed or feature implemented

A browser session for a Dash Platform app (Yappr) should be able to get its own identity key from the user's phone without typing anything, and that key should be limited so a leaked browser cannot drain the identity. Protocol 14 added authentication keys with a spend budget and an expiry (#4798) and #4811 exposed them to the mobile SDKs; this adds the phone-side handoff.

What was done?

SwiftExampleApp: "Share Login Key with Browser"

  • New screen under an identity's Keys section (only when the owning wallet is loaded). The user picks a lifetime (1h / 24h / 7d / 30d) and a spend cap (0.001 to 1 DASH in credits).
  • BrowserLoginPeripheral runs a CBPeripheralManager advertising a GATT service with a request (write), status (read + notify) and response (read) characteristic; long writes and reads are reassembled by offset.
  • BrowserLoginKeyProtocol holds the wire format and the crypto. The envelope is the existing Yappr key-exchange one (ECDH x-coordinate, HKDF-SHA256 with the dash:key-exchange:v1 salt, AES-256-GCM over the 32-byte login key), so a browser decrypts a Bluetooth response with the code it already uses for the QR flow. The identity key registered is ECDSA_HASH160(HKDF(loginKey, identityId, "auth")), AUTHENTICATION / HIGH, with the chosen totalBudget / expiresAt from feat(sdk)!: key limits on every client: wasm-dpp2, platform-wallet, FFI, Kotlin and Swift #4811, signed by the identity's MASTER key from the Keychain through wallet.updateIdentity(addPublicKeys:). A HASH160 key needs no ownership proof, which is what lets the phone register a key whose private half it never keeps.
  • A six-digit pairing code derived from the browser's ephemeral public key is shown on both screens; the user confirms on the phone only when they match.
  • NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription added to Info.plist.

Key screens show limits

  • The key list rows and the key detail screen surface a key's protocol 14 limits: total budget with what Platform says is left (fetchKeysRemainingBudgets, one call per list and one per detail view), how much was spent, the expiry as a date and relative time with an expired state, and the contract bounds. KeyLimitsFormatting renders credits as DASH at full precision.

The browser side is PastaPastaPasta/yappr#557.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • ./build_ios.sh --target sim --profile dev on top of v4.2-dev at 5568dfa, then xcodebuild test on an arm64 simulator: the 9 new BrowserLoginKeyProtocolTests and 5 KeyLimitsFormattingTests pass (request/response round trips and rejections, HKDF vectors computed independently in Python, AES-GCM seal/open with tamper detection, and the pairing-code vector the browser tests pin as well).
  • Not exercised end to end: the iOS Simulator cannot act as a Bluetooth peripheral, so the live handoff needs a physical iPhone next to desktop Chrome.

None.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The example app adds Bluetooth LE sharing for bounded browser login keys. It also displays protocol 14 budgets, expiry values, and contract bounds in key views.

Changes

Bounded browser login keys

Layer / File(s) Summary
Browser login protocol and Bluetooth transport
packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/Info.plist, packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Services/BrowserLoginKeyProtocol.swift, packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Services/BrowserLoginPeripheral.swift
The app defines request and response formats, validation errors, key derivation, AES-GCM encryption, and pairing codes. The peripheral publishes the GATT service, reassembles request writes, serves reads, and reports radio errors. The Bluetooth usage description is added.
SwiftUI sharing and registration flow
packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Views/IdentityDetailView.swift, packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Views/ShareLoginKeyView.swift
The identity screen exposes sharing when the wallet is loaded. The sharing view validates requests, displays a pairing code, registers a limited authentication key after confirmation, encrypts the login key, delivers the response, and handles failure states.
Protocol and cryptography tests
packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleAppTests/BrowserLoginKeyProtocolTests.swift
Tests cover wire formats, validation errors, field encoding, HKDF reference vectors, authenticated encryption, pairing-code generation, and ephemeral-key generation.

Protocol 14 key limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Key limit formatting and detail display
packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Utils/KeyLimitsFormatting.swift, packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Views/KeyDetailView.swift, packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleAppTests/KeyLimitsFormattingTests.swift
The app formats DASH budgets, remaining amounts, expiry values, contract bounds, and shortened identifiers. Key detail loads remaining budgets and displays budget, spent, expiry, and contract-bound information. Tests cover the formatting helpers.
Key list limit display
packages/swift-sdk/SwiftExampleApp/SwiftExampleApp/Views/KeysListView.swift
The key list loads remaining budgets for budgeted keys and displays budget, expiry, and contract-bound information in each applicable row.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9b884

A disconnected or abandoned Bluetooth transfer can be reported as successful even though the browser never receives the login key. This should be addressed before merge; the remaining issues can also misstate key status or hinder retries.

The wallet FFI identity-key row gains `total_budget` / `expires_at` (with
presence flags) so callers can register the protocol 14 limited keys; a row
carrying either becomes an `IdentityPublicKey::V1`, everything else stays V0.
The parsed identity-update projection carries the same fields. The Swift
`IdentityPubkey` model exposes `totalBudget` / `expiresAt`.

SwiftExampleApp adds "Share Login Key with Browser" under an identity's keys:
the phone advertises a BLE GATT service, shows a six-digit pairing code when
a browser writes its request, registers an AUTHENTICATION / HIGH HASH160 key
with the chosen budget and expiry (signed by the master key), and serves the
login key encrypted with the Yappr key-exchange envelope. The phone never
keeps the login key.

The Kotlin JNI decoder passes no limits, so Android behaviour is unchanged.

Reject bytes after the declared label.

BrowserLoginPeripheral.handle(writes:) assembles GATT write values and passes them to BrowserLoginRequest.parse. Because the parser checks only for a minimum label length, a frame with trailing bytes is accepted and moves the flow to .awaitingConfirmation instead of .failed. Require the remaining byte count to equal labelLength to enforce the request frame contract.

Reset the protocol status when the peripheral stops.

stop() removes the service but leaves status at .failed or .rejected. The next start() publishes a new status characteristic, and reads return that stale value. A fresh advertisement can therefore report a terminal result from the previous session instead of the protocol’s .idle state.

Set status = .idle while resetting the peripheral.

Proposed fix
 func stop() {
     wantsAdvertising = false
+    status = .idle

Bind the login key to the requested contract.

BrowserLoginRequest.contractId identifies the application contract, but confirmAndRegister() creates the IdentityPubkey with contractBounds == nil. A browser can request another contract, and the flow still registers and returns an unrestricted HIGH authentication key. Its budget can then be used outside the intended application contract.

Apple CoreBluetooth CBPeripheralManager didReceiveReadRequest CBATTRequest offset value maximum ATT MTU complete read

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
When a remote central device requests to read a characteristic value that exceeds the current Attribute Protocol (ATT) Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), Core Bluetooth triggers the peripheralManager(:didReceiveRead:) delegate method multiple times [1][2][3]. To handle this correctly, you must use the offset property of the CBATTRequest object to provide the appropriate segment of your data [1][4]. Key steps for implementation: 1. Verification: In your delegate method, first check if the requested offset is valid by comparing it against the total length of your characteristic&#39;s data [1][3]. If the offset is out of bounds, respond with CBATTErrorInvalidOffset [1][3]. 2. Segmentation: Use the offset to slice your data [1]. You should provide a sub-data range starting from the request.offset to the end of your total value, or up to the MTU limit [1]. In Objective-C, this is typically done using subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(request.offset, length - request.offset) [1]. 3. Response: Assign the sliced data to the request.value property and call peripheralManager(:respondToRequest:withResult:) with CBATTErrorSuccess to complete that specific segment of the read [1][5]. Core Bluetooth automatically manages the iteration process. It will continue calling peripheralManager(:didReceiveRead:) with incremented offsets until the entire characteristic value has been read or the central stops the request [2][3]. You do not need to manually calculate the MTU, but your code must be prepared to handle the chunked nature of the request [1][2]. If you are dealing with very large datasets or frequently changing data, consider using characteristic notifications (via updateValue(:for:onSubscribedCentrals:)) instead of read requests, as this is often more efficient for data streaming [3][6][7].

<title>Performing Common Peripheral Role Tasks</title> https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/CoreBluetooth_concepts/PerformingCommonPeripheralRoleTasks/PerformingCommonPeripheralRoleTasks.html When a connected central requests to read the value of one of your characteristics, the peripheral manager calls the peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: method of its delegate object. The delegate method delivers the request to you in the form of a CBATTRequest object, which has a number of properties that you can use to fulfill the request. ... For example, when you receive a simple request to read the value of a characteristic, the properties of the CBATTRequest object you receive from the delegate method can be used to make sure that the characteristic in your device’s database matches the one that the remote central specified in the original read request. You can begin to implement this delegate method, like this: ... | - (void)peripheralManager:(CBPeripheralManager *)peripheral | | --- | | didReceiveReadRequest:(CBATTRequest *)request { | | if ([request.characteristic.UUID isEqual:myCharacteristic.UUID]) { | | ... | ... If the characteristics’ UUIDs match, the next step is to make sure that the read request isn’t asking to read from an index position that is outside the bounds of your characteristic’s value. As the following example shows, you can use a CBATTRequest object’s offset property to ensure the read request isn’t attempting to read outside the proper bounds: ... | if (request.offset > myCharacteristic.value.length) { | | --- | | [myPeripheralManager respondToRequest:request | | withResult:CBATTErrorInvalidOffset]; | | return; | | } | ... Assuming the request’s offset is verified, now set the value of the request’s characteristic property (whose value by default is`nil`) to the value of the characteristic you created on your local peripheral, taking into account the offset of the read request: ... | request.value = [myCharacteristic.value | | --- | | subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(request.offset, | | myCharacteristic.value.length - request.offset)]; | ... After you set the value, respond to the remote central to indicate that the request was successfully fulfilled. Do so by calling the respondToRequest:withResult: method of the CBPeripheralManager class, passing back the request (whose value you updated) and the result of the request, like this: ... | [myPeripheralManager respondToRequest:request withResult:CBATTErrorSuccess]; | | --- | | ... | ... Call the respondToRequest:withResult: method exactly once each time the peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: delegate method is called. ... more of your characteristics ... a write request ... Although the above example does ... , be sure ... the value of your characteristic. <title>CoreBluetooth: number of bytes sent != number of bytes received</title> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22845890/corebluetooth-number-of-bytes-sent-number-of-bytes-received # CoreBluetooth: number of bytes sent != number of bytes received Tags: ios, objective-c, core-bluetooth - Score: 10 - Views: 1750 - Answers: 1 - Answered: yes - Asked by: bsarrazin (4060 rep) - Asked: 2014-04-03 - Edited: 2014-04-03 - Site: stackoverflow ## Question I have an app that is acting as a peripheral and another app that is acting as a central. The central app is reading a characteristic on the peripheral: [self.service.peripheral readValueForCharacteristic:self.packetCharacteristic] The peripheral handles the request as such: - (void)peripheralManager:(CBPeripheralManager *)manager didReceiveWriteRequests:(NSArray *)requests { for (CBATTRequest *request in requests) { if ([request.characteristic.UUID isEqual:self.service.packetCharacteristic.UUID]) { NSData *value = self.packets[0]; // This value&`#39`;s length logs at 512 bytes, tested 500 bytes too request.value = value; [self.peripheralManager respondToRequest:request withResult:CBATTErrorSuccess]; } } } The size of NSData *value is equal to 512 bytes. Note that I have also tested this with 500 bytes. The central then receives the the delegate call as such: - (void)didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:(CBCharacteristic *)characteristic error:(NSError *)error { if (characteristic == self.packetCharacteristic) { NSLog(@"PACKET RECEIVED: %lu bytes", (unsigned long)characteristic.value.length); } } The NSLog statement states that the value received is 536 bytes regardless of if I send 500 or 512 bytes. The bytes sent and the bytes received are identical until about a quarter of the way through (by looking at the HEX value provided by Xcode), the rest of the bytes are completely different. The questions are as follows: 1. Why am I receiving more bytes than I have sent? 2. What are these bytes? What do they represent? 3. Where can I find documentation on this? I have reviewed the CoreBluetooth docs/guides over and over and can&`#39`;t find anything indicating that this could happen. 4. Could this be related to endianness? EDIT `#1` Ok, so I have done a little bit more testing and found out the following... The MTU seems to be 134 bytes (from iOS to iOS). As soon as the data being sent is equal or bigger than 134 bytes, CoreBluetooth is calling peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: 4 times. My assumption is that because the data being sent is at least equal to the MTU, CoreBluetooth doesn&`#39`;t know whether or not it is done sending all the data. Therefore it calls peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: N number of times until N x MTU covers the maximum possible size of a characteristic&`#39`;s value (512 bytes). In my particular case, 4 x 134 bytes equals the magical 536 bytes. Note that the request&`#39`;s offset is being updated every time, in my particular case, 0, 134, 268, 402. Edit `#2` Ok, figured it out. I was semi-right in my assumption. CoreBluetooth calls peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: N time until the data being sent is smaller than the MTU. If the data being sent is equal or larger than the MTU, CoreBluetooth will keep calling peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: until it N x MTU covers the max size (512 bytes). If the data % MTU == 0 then peripheralManager:didReceiveReadRequest: will be called one last time where you have to return 0 bytes. ## Answers ### Answer by bsarrazin (score: 5 [ACCEPTED]) Answering my own question. Look at edit `#2`. <title>Reading long characteristic values using CoreBluetooth</title> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19280429/reading-long-characteristic-values-using-corebluetooth My understanding is that when this value is requested, the didReceiveReadRequest callback will be called: ... -(void) peripheralManager:(CBPeripheralManager *)peripheral didReceiveReadRequest:(CBATTRequest *)request { if ([request.characteristic.UUID isEqual:_photoUUID]) { if (request.offset > request.characteristic.value.length) { [_peripheralManager respondToRequest:request withResult:CBATTErrorInvalidOffset]; return; } else { // Get the photos if (request.offset == 0) { _photoData = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:_myProfile.photosImmutable]; } request.value = [_photoData subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(request.offset, request.characteristic.value.length - request.offset)]; [_peripheralManager respondToRequest:request withResult:CBATTErrorSuccess]; } } } ... This comes pretty much from Apple&`#39`;s documentation. On the Central side in the didDiscoverCharacteristic callback I have the following code: ... if ([characteristic.UUID isEqual:_photoUUID]) { _photoCharacteristic = characteristic; [peripheral readValueForCharacteristic:characteristic]; } ... Which in turn calls the didUpdateValueForCharacteristic callback: ... - (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:(CBCharacteristic *)characteristic error:(NSError *)error { NSLog(@"updated value for characteristic"); if ([characteristic.UUID isEqual:_photoUUID]) { NSArray * photos = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:characteristic.value]; } } ... All of the callbacks are called but when I try to re-construct the array, it&`#39`;s corrupted because not all of the data is transferred correctly. I would expect the didRecieveReadRequest callback to be called multiple times with a different offset each time. However it&`#39`;s only called once. ... I&`#39`;m guessing you&`#39`;re bumping up against the 512 byte limit on characteristic length. You&`#39`;ll need to move to subscriptions to characteristics and processing of updates to get around this: ... Subscribe to the characteristic by calling -[CBPeripheral setNotifyValue:forCharacteristic] (with YES as the notify value). ... In -peripheral:didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:error, every update will either be data to append, or something you choose to use on the peripheral side to indicate end-of-data (I use an empty NSData for this). Update your -peripheral:didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:error code so that: ... If you&`#39`;re starting to read a value, initialize a sink for the incoming bytes (e.g. an NSMutableData). ... If you&`#39`;re in the middle of reading a value, you append to the sink. ... If you see the EOD marker, you consider the transfer complete. You may wish to unsubscribe from the characteristic at this state, by calling -[CBPeripheral setNotifyValue:forCharacteristic] with a notify value of NO. ... -peripheral:didUpdateNotificationStateForCharacteristic:error: is a good spot to manage the initialization and later use of the sink into which you read chunks. If characteristic.isNotifying is updated to YES, you have a new subscription; if it&`#39`;s updated to NO then you&`#39`;re done reading. At this point, you can use NSKeyedUnarchiver to unarchive the data. ... In -[CBMutableCharacteristic initWithType:properties:value:permissions], make sure the properties value includes CBCharacteristicPropertyNotify. ... Use -peripheralManager:central:didSubscribeToCharacteristic: to kick off the chunking send of your data, rather than -peripheral:didReceiveReadRequest:result:. ... When chunking your data, make sure your chunk size is no larger than central.maximumUpdateValueLength. On iOS7, between an iPad 3 and iPhone 5, I&`#39`;ve typically seen 132 bytes. If you&`#39`;re sending to multiple centrals, use the least common value. ... You&`#39`;ll want to check the return code of -updateValue:forCharacteristic:onSubscribedCentrals; if underlying queue backs up, this will return NO, and you&`#39`;ll have to wait for a callback on -peripheralManagerIsReadyToUpdateSubscribers: bef…[truncated] <title>CBATTRequest | Apple Developer Documentation</title> https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corebluetooth/cbattrequest # CBATTRequest A request that uses the Attribute Protocol (ATT). ``` class CBATTRequest ``` ## Overview The `CBATTRequest` class represents Attribute Protocol (ATT) read and write requests from remote central devices (represented by `CBCentral` objects). Remote centrals use these ATT requests to read and write characteristic values on local peripherals (represented by `CBPeripheralManager` objects). Local peripherals, on the other hand, use the properties of `CBATTRequest` objects to respond to the read and write requests appropriately, using the `respond(to:withResult:)` method of the `CBPeripheralManager` class. ## Topics ### Requesting to Read and Write Characteristic Values `central` The remote central device that originated the request. `characteristic` The characteristic to read or write the value of. `value` The data that the central reads from or writes to the peripheral. `offset` The zero-based index of the first byte for the read or write request. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.

Wait for an application-level response acknowledgement before reporting delivery.

deliver(response:) only stores the response and sets the peripheral status to .ready. The view then enters .delivered before the browser reads the response. If the view disappears before the browser completes all offset-based reads, BrowserLoginPeripheral.stop() wipes responseBytes, while wallet.updateIdentity has already registered the public key.

Keep the flow in a ready state until the browser acknowledges that it read and reassembled the complete response. A successful CoreBluetooth read acknowledges only one ATT read request, not the complete multi-offset response.

Update expiry status as time passes.

Both views evaluate expiry only when SwiftUI recomputes the view. Without another state change, a visible key can remain styled as active after expiresAt passes.

Wrap the expiry content in a periodic TimelineView, use timeline.date as one now value, and pass it to both expiry helpers in KeyDetailView and KeysListView. The app already uses this periodic pattern in other SwiftUI views.

🌐 Web query:

Apple SwiftUI task(id:) documentation state view identity restart task when id changes

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The SwiftUI task(id:) modifier is designed to manage an asynchronous task tied to the lifecycle of a view, with the added capability to monitor a specific value for changes [1][2][3]. When you provide an id parameter (which must conform to the Equatable protocol), the task modifier behaves as follows: 1. Initialization: It starts the asynchronous task automatically when the view appears [1][4][3]. 2. Restarting: If the value provided to the id parameter changes, SwiftUI automatically cancels the currently running task associated with that modifier and immediately launches a new task with the updated dependency [1][2][4][3]. 3. Lifecycle Cancellation: Consistent with the standard task modifier, the task is also automatically cancelled if the view disappears from the view hierarchy [5][1][4][3]. This mechanism is useful for scenarios such as performing a new network request when a search query updates, or reloading data when a selection changes [6][7][2][3]. Because cancellation in Swift concurrency is cooperative, ensure your asynchronous code periodically checks for cancellation (e.g., via Task.isCancelled or by awaiting functions that support cancellation) to effectively halt ongoing work when the task is restarted or the view disappears [4].

The value must conform to the Equatable protocol. - name: Human readable name for the task. A name will be generated if this argument is `nil`. This value is a no-op prior to iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, tvOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4. - priority: The task priority to use when creating the asynchronous task. The default priority is Userinitiated. - file: File name used in default task name. SwiftUI uses the callsite of .task by default. This value is a no-op prior to iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, tvOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4. - line: Line number used in default task name. SwiftUI uses the callsite of .task by default. This value is a no-op prior to iOS 26.4, macOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, tvOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4. - action: A closure that SwiftUI calls as an asynchronous task before the view appears. SwiftUI can automatically cancel the task after the view disappears before the action completes. If the `id` value changes, SwiftUI cancels and restarts the task. ## Return Value A view that runs the specified action asynchronously before the view appears, or restarts the task when the `id` value changes. ## Discussion This method behaves like `View/task(priority:_:)`, except that it also cancels and recreates the task when a specified value changes. To detect a change, the modifier tests whether a new value for the `id` parameter equals the previous value. For this to work, the value’s type must conform to the Equatable protocol. For example, if you define an equatable `Server` type that posts custom notifications whenever its state changes — for example, from signed out to signed in — you can use the task modifier to update the contents of a Text view to reflect the state of the currently selected server: ``` Text(status ?? "Signed Out") .task(id: server) { let sequence = NotificationCenter.default.notifications( named: .didUpdateStatus, object: server ).compactMap { $0.userInfo?["status"] as? String } for await value in sequence { status = value } } ``` This example uses the notifications(named:object:) method to create an asynchronous sequence of notifications, given by an AsyncSequence instance. The example then maps the notification sequence to a sequence of strings that correspond to values stored with each notification. Elsewhere, the server defines a custom `didUpdateStatus` notification: ``` extension NSNotification.Name { static var didUpdateStatus: NSNotification.Name { NSNotification.Name("didUpdateStatus") } } ``` Whenever the server status changes, like after the user signs in, the server posts a notification of this custom type: ``` let notification = Notification( name: .didUpdateStatus, object: self, userInfo: ["status": "Signed In"]) NotificationCenter.default.post(notification) ``` The task attached to the Text view gets and displays the status value from the notification’s user information dictionary. When the user chooses a different server, SwiftUI cancels the task and creates a new one, which then waits for notifications from the new server. The task is created by `Task.immediate`. Its action begins execution synchronously until it suspends at the first `await`. <title>The power of task view modifier in SwiftUI | Swift with Majid</title> https://swiftwithmajid.com/2022/06/28/the-power-of-task-view-modifier-in-swiftui/ The task view modifier starts the unstructured async task and binds it to the view lifecycle. SwiftUI automatically cancels ongoing tasks whenever the view disappears by propagating cooperative cancellation. ... Another variant of the task view modifier allows us to observe equitable data and run the async task whenever the data changes. The task lifecycle is still bound to the view lifecycle, but SwiftUI also cancels the ongoing job whenever data changes and creates a new one for the latest data. ... ``` struct ContentView: View { `@StateObject` private var store = Store() `@State` private var query = "" var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(store.products) { product in NavigationLink { Text(product.id.uuidString) } label: { Text(product.id.uuidString) } } .searchable(text: $query) .task(id: query) { await store.search(matching: query) } } } } ``` ... In the example above, whenever the user types the query in the search bar SwiftUI creates a task. SwiftUI makes a task for every change in the search query in this case. Usually, we want to debounce requests to our servers and make them after a slight pause. We can quickly achieve this effect by leveraging the power of the cooperative cancellation and data observing capabilities of the task view modifier. ... ``` struct ContentView: View { `@StateObject` private var store = Store() `@State` private var query = "" var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(store.products) { product in NavigationLink { Text(product.id.uuidString) } label: { Text(product.id.uuidString) } } .searchable(text: $query) .task(id: query) { do { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 300_000_000) await store.search(matching: query) } catch { // Task cancelled without network request. } } } } } ... Here we try to sleep for a bit and make a network query only if the user doesn’t type a new query. In another case, SwiftUI cancels the task and creates a new one. ... ``` struct DebouncingTaskViewModifier<ID: Equatable>: ViewModifier { let id: ID let priority: TaskPriority let nanoseconds: UInt64 let task: `@Sendable` () async -> Void init( id: ID, priority: TaskPriority = .userInitiated, nanoseconds: UInt64 = 0, task: `@Sendable` `@escaping` () async -> Void ) { self.id = id self.priority = priority self.nanoseconds = nanoseconds self.task = task } func body(content: Content) -> some View { content.task(id: id, priority: priority) { do { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: nanoseconds) await task() } catch { // Ignore cancellation } } } } extension View { func task<ID: Equatable>( id: ID, priority: TaskPriority = .userInitiated, nanoseconds: UInt64 = 0, task: `@Sendable` `@escaping` () async -> Void ) -> some View { modifier( DebouncingTaskViewModifier( id: id, priority: priority, nanoseconds: nanoseconds, task: task ) ) } } ``` ... ``` struct ContentView: View { `@StateObject` private var store = Store() `@State` private var query = "" var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(store.products) { product in NavigationLink { Text(product.id.uuidString) } label: { Text(product.id.uuidString) } } .searchable(text: $query) .task(id: query, nanoseconds: 300_000_000) { await store.search(matching: query) } } } } <title>How to run tasks using SwiftUI’s task() modifier - a free Swift Concurrency by Example tutorial</title> https://www.hackingwithswift.com/quick-start/concurrency/how-to-run-tasks-using-swiftuis-task-modifier SwiftUI provides a`task()` modifier that starts a new task as soon as a view appears, and automatically cancels the task when the view disappears. This is sort of the equivalent of starting a task in`onAppear()` then cancelling it`onDisappear()`, although`task()` has an extra ability to track an identifier and restart its task when the identifier changes. ... A more advanced usage of`task()` is to attach some kind of`Equatable` identifying value – when that value changes SwiftUI will automatically cancel the previous task and create a new task with the new value. This might be some shared app state, such as whether the user is logged in or not, or some local state, such as what kind of filter to apply to some data. ... As an example, we could upgrade our messaging view to support both an Inbox and a Sent box, both fetched and decoded using the same`task()` modifier. By setting the message box type as the identifier for the task with`.task(id: selectedBox)`, SwiftUI will automatically update its message list every time the selection changes. ... // Our content view is able to handle two kinds of message box now. struct ContentView: View { `@State` private var messages = [Message]() `@State` private var selectedBox = "Inbox" let messageBoxes = ["Inbox", "Sent"] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(messages) { message in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(message.user) .font(.headline) Text(message.text) } } .navigationTitle(selectedBox) // Our task modifier will recreate its fetchData() task whenever selectedBox changes .task(id: selectedBox) { await fetchData() } .toolbar { // Switch between our two message boxes Picker("Select a message box", selection: $selectedBox) { ForEach(messageBoxes, id: \.self, content: Text.init) } .pickerStyle(.segmented) } } } // This is almost the same as before, but now loads the selectedBox JSON file rather than always loading the inbox. func fetchData() async { do { let url = URL(string: "https://hws.dev/\(selectedBox.lowercased()).json")! let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) messages = try JSONDecoder().decode([Message].self, from: data) } catch { messages = [ Message(id: 0, user: "Failed to load message box.", text: "Please try again later.") ] } } } <title>Mastering SwiftUI&`#39`;s .task Modifier: Lifecycle & Asynchronous Operations | Swiftyn | Swiftyn</title> https://www.swiftyn.com/learn/swiftui/swiftui-task-modifier-lifecycle-asynchronous-operations The `.task` modifier ... macOS 12 ... approach these problems.

Use the `await` keyword inside the task to wait for an asynchronous call to complete, or to wait on the values of an doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/AsyncSequence instance. For example, you can modify a `Text` view to start a task that loads content from a remote resource: ``` let url = URL(string: "https://example.com")! `@State` private var message = "Loading..." var body: some View { Text(message) .task { do { var receivedLines = [String]() for try await line in url.lines { receivedLines.append(line) message = "Received \(receivedLines.count) lines" } } catch { message = "Failed to load" } } } ``` This example uses the doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/URL/lines method to get the content stored at the specified doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/URL as an asynchronous sequence of strings. When each new line arrives, the body of the `for`-`await`-`in` loop stores the line in an array of strings and updates the content of the text view to report the latest line count. The task is created by `Task.immediate`. Its action begins execution synchronously until it suspends at the first `await`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.

Clear remaining-budget state when a refresh fails. A .task(id:) task can restart while the view’s @State remains. A later failed fetch therefore leaves the previous successful value in remainingBudget or remainingBudgets. KeyDetailView then displays that value because the success branch runs before the error branch. KeysListView has no error state and continues passing the stale values to its rows. Clear the stored budgets before each fetch or in catch, and expose an error state that takes precedence over the stored values. This is required by the SwiftUI loading and error-state guideline.
