In the context of SwiftUI and observable classes, the session titled "SwiftUI essentials" discusses how SwiftUI manages state and dependencies. Specifically, it mentions the use of observable classes to track changes in data and update views accordingly. SwiftUI creates dependencies to the specific properties used in view bodies, and it has tools for state management, such as @State and @Binding.

If you are dealing with @Observable class properties with no initial values, you might need to ensure that these properties are properly initialized before they are accessed in your views. SwiftUI relies on these properties to determine when to update the UI, so having uninitialized properties could lead to runtime errors or unexpected behavior.

For more detailed information on managing state and dependencies in SwiftUI, you can refer to the session SwiftUI essentials (09:43).
