Discussion
This method is called in response to a message sent by the counterpart process using the sendMessageData(_:replyHandler:errorHandler:) method. This specific method is called when the counterpart specifies a valid reply handler, indicating that it wants a response. Use this method to process the message data and provide an appropriate reply. You must execute the reply block as part of your implementation.
Use messages to communicate quickly with the counterpart process. Messages can be sent and received only while both processes are active and running.
The delivery of multiple messages occurs serially, so your implementation of this method does not need to be reentrant. This method is called on a background thread of your app.
