“SwiftData inheritance relationship”

My project is using swiftData and I want to implement iCloud sync in it. Now, my data base doesnt have any optional attributes or relationships and CloudKit wants them to be optional. So, rather than editing all code with unwrapping code for the optionals, how can I provide a bridge that does so in the last stage of actually saving to the store? Sort of, capture it in a proxy object before writing and after reading from the store. Is there a neat way that can save a lot of debugging? I have code snippets from chat gpt and they are hard to debug. This is my first project in swiftUI. Thanks. Neerav

I have a strange crash which I have problems understanding. It only happens on a few devices, after a ModelContainer migration, and it doesn't seem to crash on the migration itself. The fetch is done in onAppear, and shouldn't necessarily result in a crash, as it is an optional try: let request = FetchDescriptor() let data = try? modelContext.fetch(request) if let data, !data.isEmpty { rifle = data.first(where: { $0.uuid.uuidString == settings.selectedRifleId }) ?? data.first! } When I get logs from users, there seems to be an error in encoding?

Posting here to see if folks have workarounds or if I have a misunderstanding of SwiftData supported types. In adopting SwiftData, I have swiftData properties of collection type (Array or Set - both have this issue). E.g: @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var strings = [aa, bb] var display: String { strings.joined(separator: ) } init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } So far in development I haven't had issues on iOS 17, but on the iOS 18 betas 4-5 the app logs show the following error: fault: Could not materialize Objective-C class named Array from declared attribute value type Array of attribute named strings It happens immediately in my app when creating an object with a collection attribute. In a minimal test example, the error log appears only after a few minutes and doesn't seem to affect the template app's basic functionality. Anyone else running into this? Was filed as FB14397250

I have filed a bug report for this (FB17734946), but I'm posting it here verbatim in case others have the same issue and in hopes of getting attention from an Apple engineer sooner. When calling setNeedsDisplayInRect on a CATiledLayer - or a UIView whose backing layer is CATiledLayer - one would expect to re-draw only a region identified by the rect passed to the method. This is even written in the documentation for the class: Regions of the layer may be invalidated using the setNeedsDisplayInRect: method however the update will be asynchronous. While the next display update will most likely not contain the updated content, a future update will. However, upon calling this method, CATiledLayer redraws whole contents instead of just the tile at the specified rect, and it flashes when doing so. It behaves exactly the same as if one had called setNeedsDisplay without passing any rect; all contents are cleared and re-drawn again. I'm 100% sure I've passed in the correct rect of the exact tile that I need to redraw

My SwiftData model doesn't have time to update, and the widget gets old data on the timeline I create simple SwiftData app with widget extension. To share swiftdata between widget and app I use the same approach as in sample code Adopting SwiftData for a Core Data app: let modelContext = ModelContext(DataModel.shared.modelContainer) if let models = try? modelContext.fetch(fetchDescriptor) { // use } After I create/delete/updated model I call: WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() The problem is that the widget receives outdated data as a result of modelContext.fetch. To get the new data I need to call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() twice or with some delay: // MyModelEditorView private func save() { if let myModel { myModel.title = title } else { let myModel = MyModel( title: title ) modelContext.insert(word) } WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() // i have to call it twice WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() } I couldn't test SampleCode for similar up

I have an app in which the data model is @Observable, and views see it through @Environment(dataModel.self) private var dataModel. Since there are a large number of views, only some of which may need to be redrawn at a given time, I believe that @Observable is more efficient at run time than @Published and @ObservedObject I’ve been trying to make the app document based. Although I started using SwiftData, it has trouble with Codable, and a long thread in the Developer forum suggests that SwiftData does not support the Undo manager - and in any event, simple JSON serialization is all that this app requires. Unfortunately, ReferenceFileDocument inherits from ObservableObject, which seems to not play nice with @Observable. I’d like to keep using @Observable, but haven’t been able to figure out how. When I deserialize a JSON ReferenceFileDocument, I can’t seem to connect it to an @Observable class instance and to let the various views and view models know where to find and update it. I’

I am following Apple's instruction to sync SwiftData with CloudKit. While initiating the ModelContainer, right after removing the store from Core Data, the error occurs: FAULT: NSInternalInconsistencyException: This NSPersistentStoreCoordinator has no persistent stores (unknown). It cannot perform a save operation.; (user info absent) I've tried removing default.store and its related files/folders before creating the ModelContainer with FileManager but it does not resolve the issue. Isn't it supposed to create a new store when the ModelContainer is initialized? I don't understand why this error occurs. Error disappears when I comment out the #if DEBUG block. Code: import CoreData import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct InitView: View { @Binding var modelContainer: ModelContainer? @Binding var isReady: Bool @State private var loadingDots = @State private var timer: Timer? var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 16) { Text(Loading(loadingDots)) .font(.title2) .foregroundColor(.gray) } .padding()

When I try to post a LocationAnnotations of a subclass respect to the one defining variable sceneLocationView, by way of: sceneLocationView.addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: bannerAnnotationLocation) When I enter in: public func addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: LocationNode) { if locationNode.location == nil || locationNode.locationConfirmed == false { return } updatePositionAndScaleOfLocationNode(locationNode: locationNode, initialSetup: true, animated: true) locationNodes.append(locationNode) print(sceneNode?.description ?? nil) self.sceneNode?.addChildNode(locationNode) } I find sceneNode to nil, like if the effect of the renderer is lost when subclassing. I also tried to create a new variable in the subclass also assigning SceneLocationView(), but sceneNode remains nil. What to do to force it to assume a value?
