simply after each closure add weakify like sample below:

producer.register(handler: weakify { strongSelf, result in
            strongSelf.handle(result)
 })

to show case the full ability here is a sampleCode of both producing and consuming:

Bool in return strongSelf.login(number) }) } // for 3 private func handle(_ result: Int) { print("🎉 \(result)") } // for 4 private func login(_ result: Int) -> Bool { print("🎉 \(result) is Login") return true } // for 2 private func signout() -> Bool { print("🎉 user is signout") return true } // for 1 private func runJob() { print("🎉 run Job") } deinit { print("deinit Consumer") } } ">

class User: NSObject {
    
    private var handler: (Int) -> Void = { _ in }
    
    func register(handler: @escaping (Int) -> Void) {
        self.handler = handler
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1.0, execute: { self.handler(42) })
    }
    
    func login(handler: @escaping (Int) -> Bool?) {
        
    }
    
    func signout(handler: @escaping () -> Bool?) {
        
    }
    
    func runJob(handler: @escaping () -> Void) {
        
    }
    
    deinit {
        print("deinit Producer")
    }
