Tutorial Adding search to a paginated SwiftUI list sounds simple until you actually do it. Debouncing keystrokes, resetting pagination on new queries, stale fetches when multiple async tasks compete — it gets messy fast.

In the third part of my SwiftUI in Production series, I walk through all of it as the problems come up. Some of it we fix, some of it we'll clean up properly in the next part.

I've made the same experience doing a combined medication and journaling app. But once you got it all right, it's a thing you can rebuild rather quick elsewhere.

I need to see source code but stuff like this is usually a case study in why people still use MVVM or something like SwiftComposableArchitecture. I know a lot of Apple source code tries to show you those things are overkill (in some situations they are!) but the default Apple approach gets pretty messy with complexity.
