04/27/2022, 9:05 PMThe question is the root of the issue above. Basically a ui state of logged in/out that is exposed via a StateFlow. If logged in, then connect to a web service. Connecting to the web service needs to run until the app view model is terminated. I haven't been able to find any examples of such a common use case.

04/28/2022, 2:49 PMWhen the user is logged in, I'll get the auth token that is needed to connect to a web socket. That web socket needs to run async until the user logs out or exists the app. If I connect in the collect lambda, then it will interfere with processing logout state changes.
