Run CKQueryOperation with results from previous CKQueryOperation

Hi,

I have an app that is a shopping list. I can store prices per product and vendor in my app, the model is

Product
Vendor
Price

One product can have multiple prices from different vendors.

I store the price information with references to the product and vendor (CKRecord.Reference).

Now I am using the below to fetch all the prices related to a product:

Code Block
public func fetchDataByProduct(product: Product, completionHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void){
self.pricesBuffer = []
let cloudContainer = CKContainer.init(identifier: "iCloud.XYZ")
let publicDatabase = cloudContainer.publicCloudDatabase
let reference = CKRecord.Reference(recordID: product.recordID, action: .deleteSelf)
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "priceToProduct == %@", reference)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Price", predicate: predicate)
let operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
operation.recordFetchedBlock = { record in
let price = Price()
price.recordID = record.recordID
price.grossPrice = record.object(forKey: "grossPrice") as? Double
let dummy = record.object(forKey: "priceToVendor") as! CKRecord.Reference
price.vendorRecordID = dummy.recordID
self.pricesBuffer.append(price)
}
operation.queryCompletionBlock = { [unowned self] (cursor, error) in
self.pricesBuffer.forEach({price in
price.retrieveVendor()
})
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if error == nil {
self.prices = self.pricesBuffer
completionHandler(true)
} else {
}
}
}
publicDatabase.add(operation)
}

My problem is now that I cannot retrieve the vendor name which is part of the Vendor object (Vendor.name).

I have tried to loop over the pricesBuffer and run this one per price but the problem seems to be that CloudKit first completes the initial request to fetchDataByProduct() and then afterwards fetches the vendor data but then its too late because that updated data does not get pushed to my View (SwiftUI).

Code Block
publicDatabase.fetch(withRecordID: self.vendorRecordID, completionHandler:  {[unowned self] record, error in
if let record = record {
print(record)
self.vendor.recordID = record.recordID
self.vendor.name = record["name"] as! String
print(self.vendor.name)
}
})


Any ideas how to solve this? I believe I have to add a second CKQueryOperation to the mix and use the .addDependency() but I cannot wrap my head around how that should look like in the end.
