NSPersistentCloudKitContainer

I wanted to give this thread a bump because I too am facing the same issue. The proposed answer from rr0924, and the referenced article from Antoine van der Lee, does not work for me either. To inject my CoreData model into the Widget extension one failing attempt I've tried was to use a similar method in my iOS app and watchOS companion app. For example this code will allow proper access to CoreData from iOS and watchOS; @main struct RunRosterApp: App { @Environment(.scenePhase) private var scenePhase @StateObject private var persistentStore = PersistentStore.shared var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(.managedObjectContext, persistentStore.context) } } The PersistentStore class is a set up as a singleton to load the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. That code is fairly boiler plate so I won't post it but can upon request. Using a similar pattern in WidgetKit and SwiftUI I currently have this; @main struct WidgetRunPlanner: Widget { @StateObject private var persistentStore =

I'll make a guess you are implementing your App struct as if it were a class and accidentally creating a new instance of NSPersistentCloudKitContainer every time SwiftUI recreates the struct. You could access the persistent container lazy property through a @UIApplicationDelegateDelegateAdaptor so it is only created once. import SwiftUI import CoreData @main struct MasterDetailApp: App { t@UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate tt ttvar body: some Scene { ttttWindowGroup { ttttttContentView().environment(.managedObjectContext, appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext) tttt} tt} }

I've tried to implement some code for sharing manually with working CloudKit + CoreData mirroring. I've stuck on the parent records (I have one-to-many relationship and child records need to be shared when parent record is shared) and here is why. I've implemented code that is setting parent records for each NSManagedObject's CKRecord, syncing works well, but it causes huge troubles like: I call my setParentRecords among other places from NWPathMonitor's pathUpdateHandler (literally when internet restored), and fetching NSManagedObjects that's CKRecords if any don't have parent on the server yet. Apple's NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate is doing the same also on internet restore. And my any fetching at this second causes crash of Mirroring. Mirroring do not work since this point and says probably no internet each time! I could not beat that problem and I am afraid that will have to implement whole sync by myself, even for privateDatabase just because of such bugs (and no any completion handlers in NSPersistentCloudKitContainer

Hi, This post helped me so I figured I'd post a working example of the core data model that I am successfully using in a new Swift Package. This code below is from the lazy var persistentContainer: let bundle = Bundle.module let modelURL = bundle.url(forResource: ModelName, withExtension: .momd)! let model = NSManagedObjectModel(contentsOf: modelURL)! let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: ModelName, managedObjectModel: model) You can make the model a lazy var. I call it from the host app below: NavigationLink(destination: GenericListCDView() .environment(.managedObjectContext,ModelCDStack.shared.context) , label: { Text(My List) }) Hope this helps.

Dear Frameworks Engineer, How can you recommend to resolve conflicts. Does any callback exist when NSPersistentCloudKitContainer finishes sync?

Yes, It is not supported and you can use it, but have to write some extra code can be read as either saying the same thing, or contradicting each other, and after spending some hours looking through forums and documentation, without more context your intended meaning of NSPersistentCloudKitContainer does not yet support sharing isn't obvious to me. Contributing to my confusion, about a year ago the answer given included - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/117938?answerId=376835022#376835022: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer does not support sharing.... and As others have (correctly) pointed out, NSPersistentCloudKitContainer maintains a specific zone in the private database, and therefore will never see any shared zones owned by other users. Three weeks ago this answer - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651651?answerId=616641022#616641022 also seems to say no: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer only supports the private database and the public database. If you wan

NSPersistentCloudKitContainer does not support unique constraints. instead allow it to import all records and resolve the conflicts yourself or migrate the data to another store file which more accurately models your constraints.

I'm not sure how to rectify the two answers from Apple. The staff answer reads to me as yes, with some extra work. The engineer answer reads to me as a flat no, don't even try. Can someone please clarify? Does does not yet support sharing mean you literally can't use sharing with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer at all, even with additional code?

Ok I've narrowed the issue down. If my call to setParent on the Chat object (line 13 above of the first code listing). If I remove this line. Everything works and my two references are saved so each record has a reference to each other. However I believe then that I'm missing the benefits of using setParent? So that when I do an update to a child object things are kept in sync? Or is setParent only to be used when using CoreData/CloudKit syncing that was introduced in 2019 with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer? I'm not using that (as much as I'd like to) because I need to share my records. So I'm doing the Core Data/Cloud Kit syncing myself.

This happens automatically when you use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. See https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/202/?time=1291 at time 21:30.
