SwiftUI: Disabling Button During API Call optimization guide as Expected

I'm testing a new approach and I'm confused about I'm performance testing and I'm currently working on a SwiftUI application where I need to disable a button during an API call to prevent multiple submissions... I'm using `@State` to manage the button's disabled state, but it seems like the button remains enabled even after triggering the API call. Here's a snippet of the relevant code: ```swift import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var isLoading = false var body: some View { VStack { Button(action: submitData) { Text(isLoading ? "Loading..." : "Submit") } .disabled(isLoading) } } func submitData() { isLoading = true // Simulating a network request DispatchQueue.global().async { // Simulating a delay sleep(2) DispatchQueue.main.async { // After the API call isLoading = false } } } } ``` The button should be disabled while `isLoading` is `true`, but I can still tap it. I've double-checked that the button's `disabled` modifier is correctly bound to the `isLoading` property. I tried adding print statements inside my `submitData` function to confirm that it's being called correctly, and it is. Additionally, I've ensured that no other parts of the view are unintentionally causing state updates. I'm running Swift 5.7 on Xcode 14.1, and the behavior continues on both the simulator and a physical device. Is there something I could be missing about the state updates in SwiftUI that could lead to this scenario? Any help would be appreciated! For context: I'm using Swift on Ubuntu. Has anyone else encountered this? What am I doing wrong? I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Is there a better approach? My development environment is Ubuntu 20.04. Is this even possible?
