@frozen struct TaskGroup<ChildTaskResult> where ChildTaskResult : SendableTo create a task group, call the withTaskGroup(of:returning:body:) method.
Don’t use a task group from outside the task where you created it. In most cases, the Swift type system prevents a task group from escaping like that because adding a child task to a task group is a mutating operation, and mutation operations can’t be performed from a concurrent execution context like a child task.
Task execution order
Tasks added to a task group execute concurrently, and may be scheduled in any order.
Cancellation behavior
A task group becomes cancelled in one of the following ways:
Since a TaskGroup is a structured concurrency primitive, cancellation is automatically propagated through all of its child-tasks (and their child tasks).
A cancelled task group can still keep adding tasks, however they will start being immediately cancelled, and may act accordingly to this. To avoid adding new tasks to an already cancelled task group, use addTaskUnlessCancelled(priority:body:) rather than the plain addTask(priority:body:) which adds tasks unconditionally.
For information about the language-level concurrency model that TaskGroup is part of, see Concurrency in The Swift Programming Language.

var isCancelled: BoolA Boolean value that indicates whether the group was canceled.
var isEmpty: BoolA Boolean value that indicates whether the group has any remaining tasks.
func addTask(priority: TaskPriority?, operation: () async -> ChildTaskResult) Adds a child task to the group.
func addTaskUnlessCancelled(priority: TaskPriority?, operation: () async -> ChildTaskResult) -> Bool Adds a child task to the group, unless the group has been canceled.
func cancelAll() Cancel all of the remaining tasks in the group.
func next() async -> ChildTaskResult? Wait for the next child task to complete, and return the value it returned.
func waitForAll() async Wait for all of the group’s remaining tasks to complete.

Features
func allSatisfy((Self.Element) async throws -> Bool) async rethrows -> Bool Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether all elements produced by the asynchronous sequence satisfy the given predicate.
func compactMap<ElementOfResult>((Self.Element) async -> ElementOfResult?) -> AsyncCompactMapSequence<Self, ElementOfResult> Creates an asynchronous sequence that maps the given closure over the asynchronous sequence’s elements, omitting results that don’t return a value.
func compactMap<ElementOfResult>((Self.Element) async throws -> ElementOfResult?) -> AsyncThrowingCompactMapSequence<Self, ElementOfResult> Creates an asynchronous sequence that maps an error-throwing closure over the base sequence’s elements, omitting results that don’t return a value.
func contains(Self.Element) async rethrows -> Bool Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the asynchronous sequence contains the given element.
