iOS中关于NotificationCenter通知线程问题

在iOS开发中，NotificationCenter是经常会用到的，我一般发通知会自己封装一个方法，在主线程中进行发送。

func postNotification(name: NSNotification.Name, object: Any?, _ userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any]? = nil){
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            NotificationCenter.default.post(name: name, object: object, userInfo: userInfo)
        }
    }

因为我的想法是在接收到通知后有可能会操作UI，如果某次发送通知是在子线程(例如网络请求，请求到特定数据后发出通知)，接收到通知更新UI，会造成程序崩溃。为了验证这个想法，我做了一个简单的测试。

测试

首先在子线程中发送通知，在接收到通知后更新界面中label的显示

运行程序，结果是程序不会崩溃，但是界面并不会更新任何信息，控制台打印信息如下：

很明显是在告诉我们，操作UI线程错误，必须在主线程操作，在代码中Xcode也给出了提示：

现在改动一下代码，使通知在主线程发送

运行程序，5秒后界面得到及时更新，所以在使用通知的时候，需要确定接收通知是否会进行UI操作，如果需要操作UI，则必须在主线程发送通知。
