# state

The current state of the download object.

## Declaration

```swift
var state: SKDownloadState { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion After you queue a download object, the payment queue object calls your transaction observer when the state of the download object changes. Your transaction observer should read the state property and use it to determine how to proceed. For more information on the different states, see SKDownloadState.
