The NewsApp is an iOS project built using SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency (Async/Await, GCD). Originally a course challenge, this project was taken a step further by fully implementing async data fetching, making API calls more efficient, and improving overall responsiveness. The app fetches news from different sources and displays the latest articles in a clean SwiftUI interface.
This project focuses on modern concurrency techniques in Swift, replacing traditional completion handlers with async/await for a more structured and readable approach. The app communicates with the NewsAPI.org service to fetch real-time news updates.

- Swift Concurrency: Implemented async/await to manage API calls efficiently.
- Grand Central Dispatch (GCD): Used
DispatchQueue.main.asyncto update the UI correctly. - MVVM Architecture: Applied MVVM principles to separate business logic from UI.
- SwiftUI Best Practices: Built a clean and scalable UI using SwiftUI.
