The accepted answer may work but is not really how you're supposed to do this. In SwiftUI you don't need to add an observer in that way.

You add a publisher and it still can listen to NSNotification events triggered from non-SwiftUI parts of the app and without needing combine.

Here as an example, a list will update when it appears and when it receives a notification, from a completed network request on another view / controller or something similar etc.

If you need to then trigger an @objc func for some reason, you will need to create a Coordinator with UIViewControllerRepresentable

struct YourSwiftUIView: View {

    let pub = NotificationCenter.default
            .publisher(for: NSNotification.Name("YourNameHere"))


    var body: some View {
        List() {
            ForEach(userData.viewModels) { viewModel in
                SomeRow(viewModel: viewModel)
            }
        }
        .onAppear(perform: loadData)
        .onReceive(pub) { (output) in
            self.loadData()
        }
    }

    func loadData() {
        // do stuff
    }
}
