As for your question
What is the right way to use @MainActor in swiftUI

The Answer is
Correct Usage of @MainActor and MainActor.run

@MainActor
func getPendingTaskList() async {
    // UI update
    viewState = .shimmering
    
    do {
        // API call
        let response = try await useCase.getPendingList(
            responseType: [PendingTaskResponse].self
        )
        
        // UI update
        setupDisplayModel(response)
        viewState = .loaded
    } catch(let error) {
        // Handle error and update UI
        debugPrint(error.localizedDescription)
        viewState = .loaded
    }
}

Best Practices for @MainActor and MainActor.run

  1. Use @MainActor for Tasks Involving UI Updates:
    Annotate a method with @MainActor if most of its operations involve updating the UI. This simplifies your code by eliminating the need for await MainActor.run calls within the method.

  2. Use await MainActor.run Only When Necessary:
    If you're in a background thread (e.g., during a long-running task or API call) and need to perform UI updates, use await MainActor.run. Avoid using it unnecessarily within @MainActor-scoped methods.

  3. Keep UI Updates Minimal:
    Minimize the amount of work that is performed under @MainActor or MainActor.run to avoid blocking the main thread.
