Enable a Way to Await User Details Loading

[PSchmiedmayer]

Problem

Accessing the account details can sometimes result in nil values despite them being available a few milliseconds later while the Account module is loading data. E.g., in the PAWS app we have the following code to access a user detail value:

// Waiting until Spezi Account loads the account details.
let loadingStartDate = Date.now
while await account?.details?.dateOfEnrollment == nil && abs(loadingStartDate.distance(to: .now)) < 0.5 {
    logger.debug("Loading DateOfEnrollment ...")
    try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(0.02))
}

Solution

Ideally we would have a way to either await for the initial loading or even a blocking mechanism that would temporarily lock/block access to the details until the initial loading is complete to enable a sync access to the properties. Otherwise it is required to use a construct like the code shared above to access option account details to determine if they are nil or not yet loaded.
