I was experiencing a weird sign in error when using apple sign in with my app and wanted to put it here for anyone else who might experience it in the future, and so apple can make this requirement more clear.
I was using CloudKit and apple sign in. If you are not using both this probably does not apply to you.
Every time I would go to sign in in the iOS simulator I would enter my password, hit "sign in", and everything just froze.
The very odd reason for this is if you are using iCloudKit and apple sign in you need to go to specifically the "identifiers" in the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" menu (https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list). And from there you specifically need an App ID Configuration with apple sign in enabled.
From there you have to have the same exact bundle identifier in Xcode under project settings(not an upper tab just click your project in the left panel). And that should allow you to both pass validation and have your sign in work.
Hope this helps!

We are trying to solve for the following condition with SwiftData + CloudKit:
Lots of data in CloudKit
Perform "app-reset" to clear data & App settings and start fresh.
Reset data models with try modelContext.delete(model:_) myModel.count() confirms local deletion (0 records); but iCloud Console shows expectedly slow process to delete.
Old CloudKit data is returning during the On Boarding process.
Questions:
• Would making a new iCloud Zone for each reset work around this, as the new zone would be empty? We're having trouble finding details about how to do this with SwiftData.
• Would CKSyncEngine have a benefit over the default SwiftData methods?
Open to hearing if anyone has experienced a similar challenge and how you worked around it!
Background
I have an established app in the App Store which has been using NSPersistentCloudkitContainer since iOS 13 without any issues.
I've been running my app normally on an iOS device running the iOS 15 betas, mainly to see problems arise before my users see them.
Ever since iOS 15 (beta 4) my app has failed to sync changes - no matter how small the change. An upload 'starts' but never completes. After a minute or so the app quits to the Home Screen and no useful information can be gleaned from crash reports. Until now I've had no idea what's going on.
Possible Bug in the API?
I've managed to replicate this behaviour on the simulator and on another device when building my app with Xcode 13 (beta 5) on iOS 15 (beta 5).
It appears that NSPersistentCloudkitContainer has a memory leak and keeps ramping up the RAM consumption (and CPU at 100%) until the operating system kills the app. No code of mine is running.
I'm not really an expert on these things and I tried to use Instruments to see if that would show me anything. It appears to be related to NSCloudkitMirroringDelegate getting 'stuck' somehow but I have no idea what to do with this information.
My Core Data database is not tiny, but not massive by any means and NSPersistentCloudkitContainer has had no problems syncing to iCloud prior to iOS 15 (beta 4).
If I restore my App Data (from an external backup file - 700MB with lots of many-many, many-one relationships, ckAssets, etc.) the data all gets added to Core Data without an issue at all. The console log (see below) then shows that a sync is created, scheduled & then started... but no data is uploaded.
At this point the memory consumption starts and all I see is 'backgroundTask' warnings appear (only related to CloudKit) with no code of mine running.

In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.
Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue? It never had a problem syncing an initial database restore prior to iOS 15 (beta 4) and the problems started right after installing iOS 15 (beta 4).
I've submitted this to Apple Feedback and am awaiting a response (FB9412346). If this is unfixable I'm in real trouble (and my users are going to be livid).
Thanks in advance!
I have used core data before via the model editor. This is the first time I'm using swift data and that too with CloudKit. Can you tell me if the following model classes are correct?
I have an expense which can have only one sub category which in turn belongs to a single category. Here are my classes...
// Expense.swift

@Attribute var expenseDate: Date? = nil
@Attribute var expenseAmount: Double? = nil
@Attribute var expenseCategory: Category? = nil

var date: Date {
get {
return expenseDate ?? Date()
}
set {
expenseDate = newValue
}
}
var amount: Double{

}
}
init(date: Date, amount: Double, category: Category, subCategory: SubCategory) {
self.date = date
self.amount = amount
self.category = category
self.subCategory = subCategory
}
}
//

}
set {

}
}
@Relationship(inverse: \Expense.expenseCategory) var expenses: [Expense]? = []
init(name: String, icon: String) {
self.name = name
self.icon = icon
}
}
// SubCategory.swift

import SwiftData
@Model
class SubCategory {
@Attribute var subCategoryName: String? = nil
@Attribute var subCategoryIcon: String? = nil
var name: String {
get {
return subCategoryName ?? ""
}
set {
subCategoryName = newValue
}
}
var icon: String {
get {
return subCategoryIcon ?? ""
}
set {
subCategoryIcon = newValue
}
}
@Relationship(inverse: \Expense.expenseSubCategory) var expenses: [Expense]? = []
init(name: String, icon: String) {
self.name = name
self.icon = icon
}
}
The reason why I have wrappers is the let the existing code (before CloudKit was integrated), work.
In future versions I plan to query expenses even via category or sub category. I particularly doubt for the relationship i have set. should there be one from category to subcategory as well?
Background:
Our non-production App was using SwiftData locally. Yesterday we followed the documentation to enable CloudKit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cloudkit/enabling-cloudkit-in-your-app
iCloud Works: Data is properly syncing via iCloud between 2 devices. Add on one shows on the other; delete on one deletes on the other.
Today we logged into CloudKit Console for the first time; but there are no databases showing.
We verified:
Users and Roles: we have “Access to Cloud Managed… Certificates”
Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles: our app has iCloud capabilities and is using our iCloud Container
Signed into CloudKit Console with same developer ID as AppStoreConnect
This is also the Apple ID of the iCloud account that has synced data from our app.
In Xcode > Signing & Capabilities we are signed in as our Company team.
Any guidance or tips to understanding how to what’s going on in CloudKit Console and gaining access to the database is appreciated!

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.

When my app starts it loads data (of vehicle models, manufacturers, ...) from JSON files into CoreData. This content is static.
Some CoreData entities have fields that can be set by the user, for example an isFavorite boolean field.
How do I tell CloudKit that my CoreData objects are 'static' and must not be duplicated on other devices (that will also load it from JSON files).
In other words, how can I make sure that the CloudKit knows that the record created from JSON for vehicle model XYZ on one device is the same record that was created from JSON on any other device?
I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.
Blocker: Registering simulator runtime with CoreSimulator failed.
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.

Hi all,
I’m encountering a consistent issue with SwiftData on watchOS when using CloudKit sync. After enabling:
let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic)
…the app terminates ~30–60 seconds into a WKExtendedRuntimeSession. This happens specifically when:
Always-On Display is OFF
The iPhone is disconnected or in Airplane Mode
The app is running in a WKExtendedRuntimeSession (e.g., used for meditation tracking)
The Xcode logs show a warning:
Background Task ("CoreData: CloudKit Setup"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination.
It appears CloudKit sync setup is being triggered automatically and flagged by the system as an unmanaged long-running task, leading to termination.
Workaround:
Switching to:
let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .none)
…prevents the issue entirely — no background task warning, no crash.
Feedback ID submitted: FB17685611
Just wanted to check if others have seen this behavior or found alternative solutions. It seems like something Apple may need to address in SwiftData’s CloudKit handling on watchOS.

Hello Devs,
I'm encountering a persistent INTERNAL_ERROR (HTTP 500) when making Server-to-Server API calls to CloudKit, specifically when trying to hit the /users/current endpoint, even after meticulously verifying all client-side components. I'm hoping someone might have insight into what could cause this.
Context:
Goal: Authenticate to CloudKit from a Vercel Serverless Function (Node.js) to perform operations like record queries.
Problem Endpoint: POST https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball/production/public/users/current
Key Generation Method: Using the CloudKit Dashboard's "Tokens & Keys" -> "New Server-to-Server Key" flow, where I generate the private key using openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out mykey.pem, then extract the public key using openssl ec -in mykey.pem -pubout, and paste the public key material (between BEGIN/END markers) into the dashboard. The private key was then converted to PKCS#8 format using openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in mykey.pem -out mykey_pkcs8.pem.
Current Setup Being Tested (in a Vercel Node.js function):
CLOUDKIT_CONTAINER: iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball
CLOUDKIT_KEY_ID: 9368dddf141ce9bc0da743b9f69bc3eda132b9bb3e62a4167e428d4f320b656e (This is the Key ID generated from the CloudKit Dashboard for the public key I provided).
CLOUDKIT_P8_KEY (Environment Variable): Contains the base64 encoded string of the entire content of my PKCS#8 formatted private key file.
Key Processing in Code:
const p8Base64 = process.env.CLOUDKIT_P8_KEY;
const privateKeyPEM = Buffer.from(p8Base64, 'base64').toString('utf8');
// This privateKeyPEM string starts with "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" and ends with "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"
const privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey({ key: privateKeyPEM, format: 'pem' });
// This line SUCCEEDS without DECODER errors in my Vercel function logs.
Use code with caution.
JavaScript
Request Body for /users/current: "{}"
Signing String (message = Date:BodyHash:Path):
Date: Correct ISO8601 format (e.g., "2025-05-21T19:38:11.886Z")
BodyHash: Correct SHA256 hash of "{}", then Base64 encoded (e.g., "RBNvo1WzZ4oRRq0W9+hknpT7T8If536DEMBg9hyq/4o=")
Path: Exactly /database/1/iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball/production/public/users/current
Headers:
X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-KeyID: Set to the correct Key ID.
X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-ISO8601Date: Set to the date used in the signature.
X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-SignatureV1: Set to the generated signature.
X-Apple-CloudKit-Environment: "production"
Content-Type: "application/json"
Observed Behavior & Logs:
The Node.js crypto.createPrivateKey call successfully parses the decoded PEM key in my Vercel function.
The request is sent to CloudKit.
CloudKit responds with HTTP 500 and the following JSON body (UUID varies per request):
{
"uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"serverErrorCode": "INTERNAL_ERROR"
}
Use code with caution.
Json
This happens consistently. Previously, with other key pairs or different P8 processing attempts, I was getting AUTHENTICATION_FAILED (401) or local DECODER errors. Now that the key parsing is successful on my end with this current key pair and setup, I'm hitting this INTERNAL_ERROR.
Troubleshooting Done:
Verified Key ID (9368dddf...) is correct and corresponds to the key generated via CloudKit Dashboard.
Verified Container ID (iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball) is correct.
Successfully parsed the private key from the environment variable (after base64 decoding) within the Vercel function.
Meticulously checked the signing string components (Date, BodyHash, Path) against Apple's documentation. Path format is /database/1////.
Ensured all required headers are present with correct values.
Local Node.js tests (bypassing Vercel but using the same key data and signing logic) also result in this INTERNAL_ERROR.
Question:
What could cause CloudKit to return an INTERNAL_ERROR (500) for a /users/current request when the client-side key parsing is successful and all request components (path, body hash for signature, date, headers) appear to conform exactly to the Server-to-Server Web Services Reference?
Are there any known subtle issues with EC keys generated via openssl ecparam (and then converted to PKCS#8) that might lead to this, even if crypto.createPrivateKey parses them in Node.js?
Could there be an issue with my specific Key ID or container that would manifest this way, requiring Apple intervention?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more detailed logs of the request components if needed.
Thank you!
Hi I am a new self taught developer who is atm working on the backend of my app. My app successfully collects location of users and stores it to cloudkits public database. I now want to write a python script and run it on a local server on my windows terminal which fetches users who are in a certain proximity to each other so i can trigger a flow on the app. Can someone first of all tell me if this is even possible the way im attempting it. Also atm all i am doing is generating a server to server key which makes me generate a public and private key and i use the private key file eckey.pem plus key id plus container plus team ID to query the required data. but when i run it i get a 401 error (no authorization).
I am so stumped as there arent many resources available to help direct me to the right path. Can someone please offer some help/insight/confidence.
thanks alot

Hello there, I have a problem reaching the CloudKit dashboard. Every time I login, the login successes but then I get the error: An error has caused this web page to stop working correctly. This also happens when I click on the Button CloudKit dashboard. Then I can reload the page, but the same errors occurs again and again. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank you very much
For this code:
let status = try await container.accountStatus()

I initially started the this process as System Daemon to see what would happen (which obviously does not have CloudKit features). Then moved it back to /Library/LaunchAgents/ and can't get rid of that error.
I see also following message from CloudKit daemon:

If I start the same cli process directly from XCode, then it works just fine.
I have the following lines of code to access data through CoreData.
import Foundation

import CloudKit
class CoreDataManager {
static let instance = CoreDataManager()
let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer
let context: NSManagedObjectContext
init() {

}
func save() {
do {
try container.viewContext.save()
print("Saved successfully")
} catch {
print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
I have confirmed that I can share data between iPhone and iPad. Now, I need to use AppGroup as well. I have changed my code as follows.
import Foundation
import CoreData
import CloudKit
class CoreDataManager {
static let shared = CoreDataManager()
let container: NSPersistentContainer
let context: NSManagedObjectContext
init() {
container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ABC")

container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (description, error) in
if let error = error as NSError? {
print("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
}
})
context = container.viewContext
context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType)
}
func save() {
do {
try container.viewContext.save()
print("Saved successfully")
} catch {
print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
Other files being unaltered, my sample apps aren't sharing data. What am I doing wrong? Just FYI, I'm using actual devices. Thank you for your reading this topic.
I'm using SwiftData with CloutKit with a very simple app. Data syncs between iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS, but not macOS. From what I can tell, macOS is never getting CK messages unless I'm running the app from Xcode.
I can listen for the CK messages and show a line in a debug overlay. This works perfectly when I run from Xcode. I can see the notifications and see updates in my app. However, if I just launch the app outside of Xcode I will never see any changes or notifications. It is as if the Mac app never even tries to contact CloudKit.
Schema has been deployed in the CloudKit console. The app is based on the multi-platform Xcode template. Again, only the macOS version has this issue. Is there some extra permission or setting I need to set up in order to use CloudKit on macOS?
@State private var publisher = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification).receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
.onReceive(publisher) { notification in
// Listen for changes in CK events
if let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
let event = userInfo[NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventNotificationUserInfoKey] as? NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.Event {
let message = "CloudKit Sync: \(event.type.rawValue) - \(event.succeeded ? "Success" : "Failed") - \(event.description)"
// Store for UI display
syncNotifications.append(message)
if syncNotifications.count > 10 {
syncNotifications.removeFirst()
}
}
}

I have developed an podcast app, where subscriped podcast & episodes synched with iCloud.
So its working fine with iOS & iPad with latest os version, but iCloud not synching in iPod with version 15.
Please help me to fix this.

I have a CoreData model with two configuration - but several problems. Notably the viewContext only shows data from the .private configuration. Here is the setup:
The private configuration holds entities, for example, User and Course and the shared one holds entities, for example, Player and League. I setup the NSPersistentStoreDescriptions to use the same container but with a databaseScope of .private/.shared and with the configuration of "Private"/"Shared". loadPersistentStores() does not report an error.
If I try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() only the .private configuration produces CKRecord types. If I create a companion app using one configuration (w/ all entities) the schema initialization creates all CKRecord types AND I can populate some data in the .private and a created CKShare. I see that data in the CloudKit dashboard.
If I axe the companion app and run the real thing w/ two configurations, the viewContext only has the .private data. Why?
If when querying history I use NSPersistentHistoryTransaction.fetchRequest I get a nil return when using two configurations (but non-nil when using one).
Starting 20th March 2025, I see an increase in bandwidth and latency for one of my CloudKit projects.
I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to synchronise my data.
I haven't changed any CloudKit scheme during that time but shipped an update. Since then, I reverted some changes from that update, which could have led to changes in the sync behaviour.
Is anyone else seeing any issues?
I would love to file a DTS and use one of my credits for that, but unfortunately, I can't because I cannot reproduce it with a demo project because I cannot travel back in time and check if it also has an increase in metrics during that time.
Maybe an Apple engineer can green-light me filing a DTS request, please.
