So, you should use a layered architecture and you will not have those problems.
- service layer, it's the lowest layer reads the data from either web or db, or other services
- repository layer gets the data from service and process it, caching, etc
- usecase layer combines data from multiple repositories
- viewmodel layer gets the data from usecase and sends it to view
each service or repository handles one type of data "Users" for example
now, if you need to combine multiple types of data, like Users and Companies let's say, you need a Usecase layer which will combine all the data
on your viewmodel you only use the usecase layer
One important note, passed objects change between layers, so on service layer you have UserDto (coming from webservice), and UserEntity (coming from DB), the repo will transform those in UserResponse, which you don't know if it's db or webservice and even more the UseCase will transform UserResponse and CompanyReponse into a User object which will be passed to ViewModel and will contain all data required there.
Also, until you get to the viewmodel layer you should not need SwiftUI, if you need it, you are doing something wrong, use Swift Combine to handle data.
