Adding addChildViewController hangs the app - ios

Question

I am new in iOS.
I have a view controller in which I have added child view controller using addChildViewController in Parent Controller and it hangs the app.
addChildViewController has 2 webservice calling in the viewDidAppear method. It works fine when webservice calling complete. I want to know how to stop the app hangs problem when adding child view controller.
Below is the code how we add the child view controller:
self.stickerController = StickersViewController()
self.addChildViewController(self.stickerController)
self.addSubview(subView: self.stickerController.view, toView: self.view)
self.stickerController.view.isHidden = true
self.stickerController.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
StickersViewController view controller:
