if it set com.apple.CoreData.ConcurrencyDebug 1 as launch arg the app always crashes and i cant proceed into the app. is there a way to only raise a warning for these issues so that i can go into the app and check every place in one session for coredata errors?

I'm trying to set up an application using SwiftData to have a number of models backed by a local datastore that's not synced to CloudKit, and another set of models that is. I was able to achieve this previously with Core Data using multiple NSPersistentStoreDescription instances. The set up code looks something like: do { let fullSchema = Schema([ UnsyncedModel.self, SyncedModel.self, ]) let localSchema = Schema([UnsyncedModel.self]) let localConfig = ModelConfiguration(schema: localSchema, cloudKitDatabase: .none) let remoteSchema = Schema([SyncedModel.self]) let remoteConfig = ModelConfiguration(schema: remoteSchema, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) container = try ModelContainer(for: fullSchema, configurations: localConfig, remoteConfig) } catch { fatalError("Failed to configure SwiftData container.") } However, it doesn't seem to work as expected. If I remove the synced/remote schema and configuration then everything works fine, but the moment I add in the remote schema and configuration I get various different application crashes. Some examples below: A Core Data error occurred." UserInfo={Reason=Entity named:... not found for relationship named:..., Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<...> Has anyone ever been able to get a similar setup to work using SwiftData?

When I tried to use a working project with iOS 18 installed on my device, it wouldn't work anymore and crash right away. Before with iOS 17 it was working fine. I can't access child variables that are saved in an Array in a parent object in SwiftData. The error is always somewhere in these hidden lines: { @storageRestrictions(accesses: _$backingData, initializes: _title) init(initialValue) { _$backingData.setValue(forKey: \.title, to: initialValue) _title = _SwiftDataNoType() } get { _$observationRegistrar.access(self, keyPath: \.title) return self.getValue(forKey: \.title) } set { _$observationRegistrar.withMutation(of: self, keyPath: \.title) { self.setValue(forKey: \.title, to: newValue) } } } The child classes are also inserted and saved into the modelContext when created and set to the parent instance, but I also can't fetch them via modelContext.fetch() - Error here is: Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x243a62a4c) Maybe there is a problem with the relationship between two saved instances. The parent instances are saved correctly and it was working in iOS 17. The problem is similar to these two cases: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762679 https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/738983 I changed the logic after I reviewed these threads, as I am now linking the parent and child instances, that got rid of one warning in the console. button.canvas = canvas modelContext.insert(button) canvas.buttons = [button] But in the end those threads were not enough for me to find a fix for my problem.

I am using cloudkit to save users high scores in a public database. The preference over using Game Center is because of simplicity and works really well for what I want to achieve. I simply want to let users know their global position. Because of data privacy laws the app asks the user for their permission to submit their score each time they get a new high score. However, I have noticed that CKRecords under 'created' and 'modified' in addition to UTC time and date also contain creatorUserRecordID. Could this be a privacy issue? Can you extract any personal information from this? Can this be used to track back to the user? Is it linked to CKUserIdentity which I understand does contain personal information, although as I understand you need users consent to get this information. Under creatorUserRecordID it says... "Every user of the app has a unique user record that is empty by default. Apps can add data to the user record on behalf of the user, but don’t store sensitive data in it" Currently I simply ask the user if they are happy to submit their score. But do I need to point out that it also stores a creatorUserRecordID? Obviously I don't want to do this if it is not needed as the user will 1) Probably not understand what a creatorUserRecordID is and 2) It makes the question complicated and will likely make most people refuse to submit their score. If it is a privacy issue, is there anyway to stop a CKRecord creating this ID and simply save a score? All I need is a list of scores so the app can determine their current position. If creatorUserRecordID does not contain any personal details and cannot be tracked back to the user please let me know, so I can be reassured that my current set up is fine and I am not causing any privacy issues! This post did seem to indicate you may possibly be able to fetch personal details?? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55782166/how-do-i-fetch-any-info-about-user-that-modified-ckrecord

Hello ! I am using this iCloud key value pair mechanism to save small app configuration between iOS and tvOS. I would say it is working. But when I go back and forth between debug and release (TestFlight) modes, it is like both apps are not connected anymore. I spend a lot of time restarting all devices, rebuilding, activating / deactivating iCloud capabilities in the Xcode project. It is like the app is mixing debug and release data. Is there an easy way to check what is happening exactly ? I know there's nothing on CloudKit console, so .... Thank you Frederic

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on migrating my app (SwimTimes, which helps swimmers track their times) to use Core Data + CKSyncEngine with Swift 6. After many iterations, forum searches, and experimentation, I’ve created a focused sample project that demonstrates the architecture I’m using. The good news: 👉 I believe the crashes I was experiencing are now solved, and the sync behavior is working correctly. 👉 The demo project compiles and runs cleanly with Swift 6. However, before adopting this as the final architecture, I’d like to ask the community (and hopefully Apple engineers) to validate a few critical points, especially regarding Swift 6 concurrency and Core Data contexts. Architecture Overview Persistence layer: Persistence.swift sets up the Core Data stack with a main viewContext and a background context for CKSyncEngine. Repositories: All Core Data access is abstracted into repository classes (UsersRepository, SwimTimesRepository), with async/await methods. SyncEngine: Wraps CKSyncEngine, handles system fields, sync tokens, and bridging between Core Data entities and CloudKit records. ViewModels: Marked @MainActor, exposing @Published arrays for SwiftUI. They never touch Core Data directly, only via repositories. UI: Simple SwiftUI views bound to the ViewModels. Entities: UserEntity → represents swimmers. SwimTimeEntity → times linked to a user (1-to-many). Current Status The project works and syncs across devices. But there are two open concerns I’d like validated: Concurrency & Memory Safety Am I correctly separating viewContext (main/UI) vs. background context (used by CKSyncEngine)? Could there still be hidden risks of race conditions or memory crashes that I’m not catching? Swift 6 Sendable Compliance Currently, I still need @unchecked Sendable in the SyncEngine and repository layers. What is the recommended way to fully remove these workarounds and make the code safe under Swift 6’s stricter concurrency rules? Request Please review this sample project and confirm whether the concurrency model is correct. Suggest how I can remove the @unchecked Sendable annotations safely. Any additional code improvements or best practices would also be very welcome — the intention is to share this as a community resource. I believe once finalized, this could serve as a good reference demo for Core Data + CKSyncEngine + Swift 6, helping others migrate safely. Environment iOS 18.5 Xcode 16.4 macOS 15.6 Swift 6 Sample Project Here is the full sample project on GitHub: 👉 [https://github.com/jarnaez728/coredata-cksyncengine-swift6] Thanks a lot for your time and for any insights! Best regards, Javier Arnáez de Pedro

Hi everyone! I have an app on the App Store that uses Core Data as its data store. (It's called Count on Me: Tally Counter. Feel free to check it out.) One of the app's core feature is an interactive widget with a simple button. When the button is tapped, it's supposed to update the entity in the store. My requirement is that the changes are then reflected with minimal latency in the main app and – ideally – also on other devices of the same iCloud user. And vice-versa: When an entity is updated in the app (or on another device where the same iCloud user is logged in), the widget that shows this entity should also refresh to reflect the changes. I have read multiple articles, downloaded sample projects, searched Stackoverflow and the Apple developer forums, and tried to squeeze a solution out of AI, but couldn't figure out how to make this work reliably. So I tried to reduce the core problem to a minimal example project. It has two issues that I cannot resolve: When I update an entity in the app, the widget is immediately updated as intended (due to a call to WidgetCenter's reloadAllTimelines method). However, when I update the same entity from the interactive widget using the same app intent, the changes are not reflected in the main app. For the widget and the app to use the same local data store, I need to enable App Groups in both targets and set a custom location for the store within the shared app group. So I specify a custom URL for the NSPersistentStoreDescription when setting up the Core Data stack. The moment I do this, iCloud sync breaks. Issue no. 1 is far more important to me as I haven't officially enabled iCloud sync yet in my real app that's already on the App Store. But it would be wonderful to resolve issue no. 2 as well. Surely, there must be a way to synchronize changes to the source of truth triggered by interactive widget with other devices of the same iCloud user. Otherwise, the feature to talk to the main app and the feature to synchronize with iCloud would be mutually exclusive. Some other developers I talked to have suggested that the widget should only communicate proposed changes to the main app and once the main app is opened, it processes these changes and writes them to the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer which then synchronizes across devices. This is not an option for me as it would result in a stale state and potential data conflicts with different devices. For example, when a user has the same widget on their iPhone and their iPad, taps a button on the iPhone widget, that change would not be reflected on the iPad widget until the user decides to open the app on the iPhone. At the same time, the user could tap the button multiple times on their iPad widget, resulting in a conflicting state on both devices. Thus, this approach is not a viable solution. An answer to this question will be greatly appreciated. The whole code including the setup of the Core Data stack is included in the repository reference above. Thank you!

It takes a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes for records to be downloaded back from CloudKit when the user reinstalls the app, which leads users to thinking their data was lost. I would like to know if there’s any way to provide a visual feedback about the current CloudKit sync status so I can let users know their data is being in fact downloaded back to their devices.

Hi, I’m running into an issue with Core Data migrations using a custom NSMappingModel created entirely in Swift (not using .xcmappingmodel files). Setup: • I’m performing a migration with a manually constructed NSMappingModel • One of the NSEntityMapping instances is configured as follows: • mappingType = .customEntityMappingType (or .transformEntityMappingType) • entityMigrationPolicyClassName is set to a valid subclass of NSEntityMigrationPolicy • The class implements the expected methods like: @objc func createDestinationInstances(…) throws { … } @objc func createCustomDestinationInstance(…) throws -> NSManagedObject { … } The policy class is instantiated (confirmed via logging in init()), but none of the migration methods are ever called. I have also tried adding valid NSPropertyMapping instances with real valueExpression bindings to force activation, but that didn’t make a difference. Constraints: • I cannot use .xcmappingmodel files in this context due to transformable attributes not compatible with the visual editor. • Therefore, I need the entire mapping model to be defined in Swift. Workaround: As a temporary workaround, I’m migrating the data manually using two persistent stores and NSManagedObjectContext, but I’d prefer to rely on NSMigrationManager as designed. Question: Is there a known limitation that prevents Core Data from invoking NSMigrationPolicy methods when using in-memory NSMappingModel instances? Or is there any specific setup required to trigger them when not loading from .xcmappingmodel? Thanks in advance.

I am developing an app that uses CloudKit sharing. I recently upgraded my iPad to use 23A5336a. After that upgrade, I can no longer accept a share that is sent to me. I have rebooted the iPad and logged out of the iCloud account and logged back in. Every time I get a share link and tap it, it says: " The owner stopped sharing or your account (xxx) doesn't have permission to open it" This same code, running on the iOS26 device can share with device running iOS18. Is this a known defect? Anything I can do to help resolve this issue?

Users have been reporting that the TestFlight version of my app (compiled with Xcode 26 Beta 6 17A5305f) is sometimes crashing on startup. Upon investigating their ips files, it looks like Core Data is locking up internally during its initialization, resulting in iOS killing my app. I have not recently changed my Core Data initialization logic, and it's unclear how I should proceed. Is this a known issue? Any recommended workaround? I have attached the crash stack below. Thanks! crash_log.txt

In Apple Numbers and similar apps, a user can save a document to iCloud Drive, and collaborate with other users. From what I can gather, it seems to use two mechanisms: the document as a whole is synced via iCloud Drive, but when a collaboration is started, it seems to use CloudKit records to do live updates. I am working on a similar app, that saves documents to iCloud Drive (on Mac, iPad, and iPhone). Currently it only syncs via iCloud Drive, re-reading the entire (often large) document when a remote change occurs. This can lead to a delay of several seconds (up to a minute) for the document to be saved, synced to the server, synced from the server, and re-read. I'm working on adding a "live sync", i.e. the ability to see changes in as near to real-time as feasible, like in Apple's apps. The document as a whole will remain syncing via iCloud Drive. My thought is to add a CloudKit CKRecord-based sync when two or more users are collaborating on a document, recording only the diffs for quick updates. The app would no longer re-read the entire document when iCloud Drive updates it while in use, and would instead read the CloudKit records and apply those changes. This should be much faster. Is my understanding of how Apple does it correct? Does my proposed approach seem sensible? Has anyone else implemented something like this, with iCloud Drive-based documents and a CloudKit live sync? In terms of technologies, I see that Apple now has a Shared with You framework, with the ability to use a NSItemProvider to start the collaboration. Which raises the question, should I use the iCloud Drive document for the collaboration (as I do now), or the CloudKit CKShare diff? I think I'd have to use the document as a whole, both so it works with the Send Copy option, and so a user that doesn't have the document gets it when using Collaborate. Once the collaboration is underway, I'd want to start the CloudKit channel. So I guess I'd save the CKShare to the server, get its URL, and save that in the document, so another user can read that URL as part of their initial load of the document from iCloud Drive? Once two (or more) users have the document via iCloud Drive, and the CKShare via the embedded URL, I should be able to do further live-sync updates via CloudKit. If a user closes the document and re-opens it, they'd get the updates via iCloud Drive, so no need to apply any updates from before the document was opened. Does all this sound reasonable, or am I overlooking some gotcha? I'd appreciate any advice from people who have experience with this kind of syncing.

Hey guys, I'm developing a Swift app, using iCloud to store some data in Containers, and the new Containers I created are iCloud.com.xxx.dev . Therefore, there is a storage called dev in Settings -> icloud -> Manage Account Storage. Currently, the app is still under development and has not been released to the Appstore. My question: Settings -> icloud -> Manage Account Storage does not display my app name and icon, but only the suffix of the Containers id. Will this change after it is released to the Appstore? Are there any other control methods? Thank you

Is there a way to move user data from UserDefaults to SwiftData when the app is in production so that people don’t lose their data. Currently my audio journals in my journal app has everything in the UserDefaults. Now this is bad for obvious reasons but I was thinking if there was a way. It’s only been 1 week since published and I have already had17 people download it.

I have been trying to get this to work since it was announced a few years ago but with no joy. I'm struggling to get Apple's example code to behave itself too. Seems overly complex and buggy. So I set out to create a simplified version myself. I have got the database to sync with CloudKit and I can see my records in the developer dashboard. I'm trying to use container.record(for: object.objectID) to get the CKRecord for it, but this always fails. The next step would be to add the participant. I try to add the participant based on this code: Button { let record = fetchRecord(for: items[0]) //hack just to use the first record for dev testing let share = CKShare(rootRecord: record) let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared persistenceController.addParticipant( emailAddress: "andrew@ambrit.com", permission: .readWrite, share: share) { share, error in if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else if let share = share { print("Share updated successfully: \(share)") } } } label: { Label("Participants", systemImage: "person") } and extension PersistenceController { func addParticipant(emailAddress: String, permission: CKShare.ParticipantPermission = .readWrite, share: CKShare, completionHandler: ((_ share: CKShare?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?) { let container = PersistenceController.shared.container let lookupInfo = CKUserIdentity.LookupInfo(emailAddress: emailAddress) let persistentStore = privatePersistentStore //share.persistentStore! container.fetchParticipants(matching: [lookupInfo], into: persistentStore) { (results, error) in guard let participants = results, let participant = participants.first, error == nil else { completionHandler?(share, error) return } participant.permission = permission participant.role = .privateUser share.addParticipant(participant) container.persistUpdatedShare(share, in: persistentStore) { (share, error) in if let error = error { print("\(#function): Failed to persist updated share: \(error)") } completionHandler?(share, error) } } } } My immediate problem is that when I call fetchRecord it doesn't find anything despite the record being available in the CloudKit dashboard. func fetchRecord(for object: NSManagedObject) -> CKRecord { let container = PersistenceController.shared.container print ("Fetching record \(object.objectID)") if let record = container.record(for: object.objectID) { print("CKRecord ID: \(record.recordID)") print("Record Name: \(record.recordID.recordName)") return record } else { fatalError("Record not found") } }

I'm trying to set up server-to-server authentication with CloudKit Web Services, but keep getting AUTHENTICATION_FAILED errors. I've tried multiple environment settings and debugging approaches without success. What I've Tried I created a Swift script to test the connection. Here's the key part that handles the authentication: // Get current ISO 8601 date let iso8601Formatter = ISO8601DateFormatter() iso8601Formatter.formatOptions = [.withInternetDateTime] let dateString = iso8601Formatter.string(from: Date()) // Create SHA-256 hash of request body let bodyHash = SHA256.hash(data: bodyData).compactMap { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined() // Get path from URL let path = request.url?.path ?? "/" // String to sign let method = request.httpMethod ?? "POST" let stringToSign = "\(method):\(path):\(dateString):\(bodyHash)" // Sign the string with EC private key let signature = try createSignature(stringToSign: stringToSign) // Add headers request.setValue(dateString, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-ISO8601Date") request.setValue(KEY_ID, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-KeyID") request.setValue(signature, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-SignatureV1") } I've made a request to this endpoint: What's Happening I get a 401 status with this response: "uuid" : "173179e2-c5a5-4393-ab4f-3cec194edd1c", "serverErrorCode" : "AUTHENTICATION_FAILED", "reason" : "Authentication failed" } What I've Verified The key validates correctly and generates signatures The date/time is synchronized with the server The key ID matches what's in CloudKit Dashboard I've tried all three environments: development, Development (capital D), and production The container ID is formatted correctly Debug Information My debugging reveals: The EC key is properly formatted (SEC1 format) Signature generation works No time synchronization issues between client and server All environment tests return the same 401 error Questions Has anyone encountered similar issues with CloudKit server-to-server authentication? Are there specific container permissions needed for server-to-server keys? Could there be an issue with how the private key is formatted or processed? Are there any known issues with the CloudKit Web Services API that might cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a ModelActor that creates a hierarchy of models and returns a PersistentIdentifier for the root. I'd like to do that in a transaction, but I don't know of a good method of getting that identifier if the models are created in a transaction. For instance, an overly simple example: func createItem(timestamp: Date) throws -> PersistentIdentifier { try modelContext.transaction { let item = Item(timestamp: timestamp) modelContext.insert(item) } // how to return item.persistentModelID? } I can't return the item.persistentModelID from the transaction closure and even if I could, it will be a temporary ID until after the transaction is executed. I can't create the Item outside the transaction and just have the transaction do an insert because swift will raise a data race error if you then try to return item.persistentModelID. Is there any way to do this besides a modelContext.fetch* with separate unique identifiers?

I have a UIKit app where I've adopted SwiftData and I'm struggling with a crash coming in from some of my users. I'm not able to reproduce it myself and as it only happens to a small fraction of my user base, it seems like a race condition of some sort. This is the assertion message: SwiftData/DefaultStore.swift:453: Fatal error: API Contract Violation: Editors must register their identifiers before invoking operations on this store SwiftData.DefaultStore: 00CF060A-291A-4E79-BEC3-E6A6B20F345E did not.

There doesn't seem to be any common trait for the crashes. They occur across iOS versions and device types. Any idea what might cause this?

How do I filter data using @Query with a Set of DateComponents? I successfully saved multiple dates using a MultiDatePicker in AddView.swift. In ListView.swift, I want to retrieve all records for the current or today’s date. There are hundreds of examples using @Query with strings and dates, but I haven’t found an example of @Query using a Set of DateComponents Nothing will compile and after hundreds and hundreds of attempts, my hair is turning gray. Please, please, please help me. For example, if the current date is Tuesday, March 4 205, then I want to retrieve both records. Since both records contain Tuesday, March 4, then retrieve both records. Sorting works fine because the order by clause uses period which is a Double. Unfortunately, my syntax is incorrect and I don’t know the correct predicate syntax for @Query and a Set of DateComponents. Class Planner.swift file import SwiftUI import SwiftData 
 @Model class Planner { //var id: UUID = UUID() var grade: Double = 4.0 var kumi: Double = 4.0 var period: Double = 1.0 var dates: Set<DateComponents> = [] init( grade: Double = 4.0, kumi: Double = 4.0, period: Double = 1.0, dates: Set<DateComponents> = [] ) { self.grade = grade self.kumi = kumi self.period = period self.dates = dates 
 } } @Query Model snippet of code does not work The compile error is to use a Set of DateComponents, not just DateComponents. @Query(filter: #Predicate<Planner> { $0.dates = DateComponents(calendar: Calendar.current, year: 2025, month: 3, day: 4)}, sort: [SortDescriptor(\Planner.period)]) var planner: [Planner] ListView.swift image EditView.swift for record #1 DB Browser for SQLlite: record #1 (March 6, 2025 and March 4, 2025)

Hi, I am creating (or trying to) my first app using SwiftData - and I have questions :-) The main question I can't get my head wrapped around is the following: Let's say I have the sample below... @Model class Person { @Relationship(inverse:\Hat.owner) var hat:Hat } @Model class Hat { var owner:Person? } It looks like I am creating a strong reference cycle between the person and the hat objects? And in fact I am seeing these kinds of reference cycles when I look at the memory debugger. Many code samples I have seen so far use this type of relationship declaration... And I am wondering: Am I missing something? Admittedly I don't find many discussions about memory leaks caused by SwiftData despite the syntax being used in many examples? So what is the situation? Did Apple just miss to explain that the inverse: declaration causes memory leaks or is there some kind of magic that I should understand?
