I have a watchOS extension that I'm trying to sync to their iPhone using CoreData and CloudKit, but it doesn't seem to want to sync.
I've tried a few solutions (CloudKit + CoreData on iOS and watchOS sync not working, Core data + CloudKit - sharing between iOS and watchOS companion app), but it's still not syncing.
Here's my shared (it's loading in both targets) persistence code:
Should I have a different code for the watch? Right now both targets share all the files.
Both targets share the same xcdatamodeld file. I used to have all the ManagedObject classes automatically generated (Codegen: Class Definition), but someone suggested manually generating them, but that didn't seem to change anything. Maybe the classes need to be different for each target (but what should be different)?
Both targets have iCloud and background notifications enabled.
I don't know if this matters, but I'm using SwiftUI. Here's the view model and the relevant code that loads the data (same file for both targets):
And the view (this one is only used by the watch):
